Subject: [wix-users] Custom Action with elevated privilege

I'm creating an installer to launch an executable after the installation. The executable will only be launched when a checkbox is selected on the ExitDialog. I hooked up the CustomAction to the Finish button of the ExitDialog box. I'm able to launch the executable. But the executable doesn't have the elevated privilege. It failed to save the output file to the installation folder due to lack of privilege. Is there any way that I can accomplish this?

<Property Id="WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOXTEXT" Value="Run Wizard to configure the Connector config file" />

<Publish Dialog="ExitDialog" Control="Finish" Event="DoAction" Value="LaunchFile" Order="999">(NOT Installed) AND (WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOX = 1)</Publish>


<CustomAction Id='LaunchFile' Directory='APPLICATIONFOLDER' ExeCommand='[APPLICATIONFOLDER]Config.exe' Impersonate='no' Return="asyncNoWait" />
