@nodejs/build ... does this LGTY? |

@jasnell sorry, I left this one too long. I take the reviews above as enough to move forward here, I'll land this early next week if there are no objections (or feel free to if you want to land). Thanks for the ping! |

Description of change
When installing with
Always install with elevated privilegespolicy set on Windows, MSIExec will spawn an installation process with elevated privileges, but will only be able to pass secure properties to it. Without this change, INSTALLDIR could not be passed and would revert to the default, effectively ignoring any change in the installation directory made by the user.This marks INSTALLDIR as secure, allowing it to be passed to the server MSIExec process during installation.
Tested on Windows 7 with the policy set, with the MSI and INSTALLDIR in two different non-C hard drives (showing that other properties get their values corretly). Also tested upgrade from released Node 6.4 to this on Windows 10.
Fixes: #6057
