I need to roll out an app and want to do it using MSI's w/ a GPO. The app
needs admin rights on the computer to install.
Someone told me that you could use a System policy instead of a GPO and that
it would elevate the rights for that install without having to change the
rights on the target computers.

This is the case, and will work fine.

There's a ton of stuff on technet and MSDN about Group Policy & Windows
Installer. I don't have anything handy, but, I'd hit those two sites first.
