   ElevationRequirement and Scope are only loosely related.

   • elevationRequired - Must be run from a shell that is running in an administrative context (e.g - Admin user using powershell/terminal/cmd with "Run as Administrator")
   • elevationProhibited - Must be run from a shell that is not running in an administrative context
   • elevatesSelf - If called from a non-administrative context, will request elevation. If called from an administrative context, may or may not request elevation.

   Some applications require elevation to install in the user scope, others do not. Some will install to the machine scope without elevation, others will not
