Request admin privileges during un-installation

I'm writing some values to HKLM during the installation of my application.

I'm using the PrivilegesRequired=admin flag in my installer, so during the installation, writing to the registry works fine.

However, when I un-install my application, Inno Setup doesn't request admin privileges, so my call to RegDeleteKeyIncludingSubkeys fails.

I would like to ask if it's possible to make it so that Inno Setup requires admin privileges at un-installation as well.

Thank you very much.

Edit: I've read that the uninstaller should contain this information, but for me, it doesn't. I don't even remember how I created the uninstaller...

I found the problem myself:

I forgot to sign the uninstaller. The Windows Programs & Features uninstaller requires that uninstaller have to be signed.

Once I signed the uninstaller, everything would work as expected.
