      When the config.xml contains empty <UninstallerIniFile> tag, installer will show "sudo prompt" and installation is cancelled even password is entered correctly.

      If the tag is not defined or it contains some data this problem can't be seen anymore.

      Here is the modified config.xml(taken from tutorial example) which cause the problem:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Installer>
    <Name>Your application</Name>
    <Version>1.2.3</Version>
    <Title>Your application Installer</Title>
    <Publisher>Your vendor</Publisher>
    <StartMenuDir>Super App</StartMenuDir>
    <TargetDir>@HomeDir@/InstallationDirectory</TargetDir>
    <UninstallerIniFile></UninstallerIniFile>
</Installer>
