Thanks for your replies. Yep, that was my confusion. I also thought Impersonate="no" was the correct way to set the msidbCustomActionTypeNoImpersonate flag and run as LocalSystem. However, the action type is 1025. The custom action still fails when an admin launches the installer elevated via the UAC prompt. It only works with Impersonate="yes" and the action type is 3073 with msidbCustomActionTypeNoImpersonate set.
