If you need to launch an exe with administrator privileges from within your installer, you need to use Execshell. See this other question for more info.

Thanks Francisco. This solution does not work for a "Guest" machine. it asks for admin privilege. – yRapa Jan 07 '14 at 20:56
What you ask for (if I understand correctly) is how to bypass the UAC control which is exactly designed for this purpose. – Slappy Jan 08 '14 at 05:46
