[wix-users] Deferred CustomAction in System context get access denied

[Rob Mensching]

Standard Windows behavior. A process can't have privileges that it has removed from itself (or its parent removed for it). However, a process can enable privileges that are not enabled by default if they weren't removed (like Debug).

Just found this article
http://microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi.narkive.com/KUhURDax/msi-custom-action-privileges

according to them Windows Installer is not able to get more privileges than it is assigned to. What gives?
