Research direction
Start with the to_wix_bundle_builder documentation and the linked discussion in pymedphys#1556 to understand the current installation behavior and attempted workarounds. Define the required installer changes so a bundle can install into LocalAppDataFolder without UAC, then verify that installation succeeds without administrator privileges.
