MSI advertising within locked down environments

When a package is deployed in a locked down environment and the package
contains advertised resources, how will Windows Installer perform the
advertisement. I'm referring to the local group policy being disabled or not
configured for Windows Installer when I state locked down.

Self-repair is not the same as advertising, correct? I've read the SDK and
have seen the APIs, MsiInstallMissingComponent, MsiInstallProduct,
MsiInstallFeature, and the query functions and from what I gather Windows
Installer does not automatically repair an application. The application must
first query its state and then perform a repair if needed. Correct?
 
Hello Larry,
Administrators can take use of Always install with elevated privileges Group
Policy setting for Windows Installer to allow distribution of MSI Packages.
