Apps to install are dropped from the UI if there is an exception in the elevated process

Steps to reproduce the bug
Not sure how to trigger it, but what happens is:
If there is an exception in the ElevatedInstallTask() on the elevated process side, we don't catch it and convert it to a failed result, instead we just let the exception propagate. When it gets back to the main process, the handling of this call in the InstallPackageTask.ExecuteAsAdmin() does not expect an exception, but rather that any error is converted to a failed task result. Since it doesn't expect it, we just let it propagate. Then on LoadingViewModel.StartTaskAndReportResult() what we do on an exception instead of setting the task result is just ignore it. So, we just don't have any result to show it for the task after this.
Things to change:
- Add exception handling to convert these errors to task failures
- Figure out what's causing the exception

Related to #629 in that the exceptions thrown here are what we don't catch in the Loading screen
