This has been fixed, but it does not work as expected on Windows Vista and Windows 7. UAC will pop up in both these version. There is a way to get it working in Vista, but this would require two seperate MSI files per architecture (making four total installers, yuck!). There is also a way to supress UAC in Windows 7, but this would break per-user installs on previous versions of Windows (unless, again, I distribute more MSIs). Despite UAC popping up in both operating systems, it will only install in per-user folders and registry keys.

Scratch that, even that's not working...

I've made it so that running REGSVR32 on ImageResizer.dll will register the extension on a per-user basis. I believe that this workaround is sufficient for me to mark this bug as fixed. As soon as the WiX bug is fixed, the installer will also start working as expected.

I managed to "fix" this in my latest code changes, but there's a bug in WiX that prevents it from working as expected: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2886588&group_id=105970&atid=642714
