I believe you're back in the non-elevated part of the installation because by default you can't be elevated unless you run as a deferred CA, and you can't be deferred outside the InstallInitialize/Finalize actions. It's an immediate CA, right?

I thought I'd try in here. The guidelines for installers on Vista suggest that a good method is to run the UI sequence as the user, and then elevate when the user clicks the final "Install" button. When the InstallExecuteSequence has finished and the user is looking at the final exit dialog, is the install still running as an admin, or as the user. It would sort of make sense if it had reverted to the user, since the InstallExecuteSequence has finished and we're back in the UI sequence, but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure. The reason I need to know is this: if I launch an application from the final dialog, which user is that application running as?
