     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
