Windows AlwaysInstallElevated MSI checks registry keys to determine if .MSI files should be installed with elevated privileges. A default MSI file is used to execute payload.exe. Source for the MSI can be rebuilt using the WIX tool

                    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
