I have another installer that is running with elevated privileges and its 
deferred custom actions are executing from the windows\installer directory. I 
can't find why one runs from the program files directory while the other runs 
from windows installer directory. Is there a setting or a way to specify?

Security: It ensures that the CA DLL is run from an appropriately ACL'd 
directory, so a nonprivileged user can't overwrite a DLL that the MSI 
server runs with elevated privileges.
