[wix-users] [WIX]: How to run MSI file with an user administration account?

[Phil Wilson]

You have impersonate="no", which means "don't impersonate the installing
user" so, yes, it runs with the system account. 

If you use impersonate="yes" the CA will run with the installing user's
credentials but will not be elevated unless you install the MSI from an
elevated prompt or launch process.

Subject: [wix-users] [WIX]: How to run MSI file with an user administration
account?

Hi All,

I am using similar custom action in my installer:

<CustomAction Id="InstallDRV" Directory="INSTALLDIR" Execute="deferred"
ExeCommand="$(var.EXEFileName) $(var.CommandArg)" Impersonate="no"
Return="asyncNoWait" />

I need to execute them under current (logged in) user, who has admin
privileges.

Once i ran the MSI file in non-admin user system, MSI file is executing in
System administrator.

How to run MSI file with user administration account?

Thanks in advance..

Regards,
Dileep
