Here's the scenario: A limited user called Fred installs the product. It requires admin privilege to install, so an elevation dialog pops up and an administrator enters his credentials so that the install can proceed.
Later on in a custom action you ask for "the current user's credentials". There are a number of ways you could do that, such as the USERNAME property, or maybe in your custom action code you use some API that returns "current user's credentials". What credentials are you going to get? The administrator's or Fred's? Apart from that, there's also the question of whether your custom action needs elevation (so it must run with the local system account). If your managed custom action is DTF, I don't know how that behaves in this environment. All this is the kind of thing that happens when installs try to do too much. Why does the install need to call a web service, and is there some reason why the app can't do it in a normal interactive user environment after the install?
