Getting admin rights failed while running "wemeet" installer with "emulate admin right" preset.

[NYGKNYGK]

Describe the bug
Well, first i have to thank you for developing such an excellent software. It helped me isolating a bunch of evil-installer from installing unwantted so-called "safety tools, user experience tools, ..." trash software everywhere in my C drive.

So here is the problem, when I try to run "wemeet installer" in an sandbox with "emulate admin right" preset, it says "elevating failed, error code 1722". Just like this:

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. I'm using win10 21h1 with an online microsoft account. The sandboxie-plus version is 0.8.9

2. You can download the installer from this link: https://voovmeeting.com/download-center.html?from=1002

3. Try to run it in a "emulate admin right" sandbox.

4. It will show a window like this:
   

5. Neihter choices will work. If I choose current user, it will indicates that I need admin right:
   
   If I choose the second one, it will show this:
   
   which indicates that the elevation failed.

If I choose other preset such as "ask for UAC elevation", it will work. But i'm afraid this little bitch will bypass the sandbox limit and install some trash "safety tools" in my host machine. Other installers from this company can do it in "ask for UAC elevation" sandbox. So could u fix it?

I'll take a look whats failing there.

But i'm afraid this little bitch will bypass the sandbox limit and install some trash "safety tools" in my host machine. Other installers from this company can do it in "ask for UAC elevation" sandbox. So could u fix it?

That should not be possible, can you point me to an installer that can do that, i need to find out how it does it and plug that whole if its true.

@DavidXanatos

That's my bad. I've mistaken the left-behind trash after I uninstalled them from host machine for sandbox leaks. I've tested them 3 times. The "ask for UAC elevation" sandbox works just fine. I'm truly sry.

[DavidXanatos]

Ok that is good, so i only need to investigate the failure of fake admin,
also it should not try to elevate but think it already is elevated, so the issue is with some yet unhandles checking method for administrative privileges

Ran into this issue with another software installer with SBIE Plus v0.8.2, which has a UAC.dll file.
and here is its imports
