Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action type 1042 and 18
I would like to figure it out for you, but the only way you will ever figure out how to do it for yourself is to see the information on Custom Actions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa368062.aspx. On that page under the description for Type are some links that show the values that, when added together, will total the type value you are looking for. These values are the custom action type and the attributes for execution return processing, scheduling, etc. You should be able to figure out from these values what attribute values to add together to get the result you want. :-) Then based on the set of attribute values you come up with, just look at the settings for the WiX CustomAction element and choose the appropriate settings to match. You may have to play around with it some to achieve the value you want, but this will help you in doing the same for other custom attributes in the future.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action type 1042 and 18
All of the custom action attributes, when coded into the action type give a different value depending on what is specified for the attribute. So changing a value from yes to no can make a big difference in the value... they are just bit settings and to the action type. But if you specifically want 1042, then, try: Return=check Execute=deferred Impersonate=yes HideTarget=no But these values may not be what you want for executing the custom action.
