Currently, we only call SetGroupOwnershipAndPermissions() if we are doing an elevated update or if the group permission is already set to admin.

I think that we should consider calling SetGroupOwnershipAndPermissions() on every update. I don't see any particular reason not to. If we can successfully install an update, we probably also have the privileges necessary to set the permissions this way. And doing this could prevent needing elevation for future updates as other admin users.
