Deferred custom actions are elevated (unless impersonating).

Subject: [wix-users] Elevated priviledges for custom actions

Hi, while pursuing a font installation issue on another forum, I received the following comment from another poster:  "Even if your installer is running with elevated privilege It is possible that your custom action is not running elevated."

Can someone comment about how this works with WiX?  Is there a default for custom actions?  Is there a way to set the priviledge to elevated for a custom action?

thanks,
Todd Hoatson
