Description

Privilege elevation on Windows XP or Vista does not work when an UNC path (\\server\share\...) is used for the installer JAR.

The attached patch fixes the problem, but it would be nicer to use a common subroutine within PrivilegedRunner.getInstallerJar() and UnpackerBase.getAbsolutInstallSource() to find the path of the JAR file.
