This module checks the AlwaysInstallElevated registry keys which dictate if .MSI files should be installed with elevated privileges. It includes a default MSI file that executes payload.exe within the same folder and provides instructions to rebuild the MSI

This module checks the AlwaysInstallElevated registry keys which dictate if  
.MSI files should be installed with elevated privileges (NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM).  
  
The default MSI file is data/exploits/exec_payload.msi with the WiX source file  
under external/source/exploits/exec_payload_msi/exec_payload.wxs. This MSI simply  
executes payload.exe within the same folder.  
  
The MSI may not execute succesfully successive times, but may be able to get around  
this by regenerating the MSI.  
  
MSI can be rebuilt from the source using the WIX tool with the following commands:  
candle exec_payload.wxs  
light exec_payload.wixobj
