Your blog was of great interest to me because my company wants to migrate from BeyondTrust EPM to Intune EPM, and Visual Studio is indeed a significant undertaking. However, my experience has shown me the following:

1. There’s no need to elevate the installer (setup.exe) thanks to the VS policy “Allow standard users to execute installer operations”.

2. I tested the automatic elevation of VSIXInstaller.exe by installing the “SQLite and SQL Server Compact Toolbox” extension, but the behavior wasn’t as expected. The extension ended up in the virtual user account’s profile, where it’s inaccessible and unrecognized, even though this privilege elevation was NOT required to install correctly in the user’s profile. In fact, only extensions that need to be installed in %ProgramFiles% would need Intune EPM, but the latter is unable to distinguish between processes that do not need elevation and those for which it is necessary.
