Michael Müller has been working on a more complete solution, which has been
added in Wine Staging 2.14. This is basically a full UAC implementation
including token inheritance and official ways to elevate rights / drop
privileges. The main differences compared to Windows are that (1) there are no
confirmation dialogs yet and (2) admin privileges are still default for
backwards compatibility.

To start a installer with limited privileges, you can use:

wine runas /trustlevel:0x20000 installer.exe

Does this fix the issue with Spotify?
