Remarks

This property can be set in the project file, but it is not exposed in the MSBuild schema. In the project file's MsiBootstrapper section, set the RequiresElevation Property to True.

A component runs with elevated permissions when it writes a registry key or is being installed to the GAC. For example, if you are installing assemblies to the GAC, you need to set this property to True.
