Make sure all customs actions needing administration privileges are run deferred with the NoImpersonate bit set. You SHOULD NOT assume client side of your MSI is running with administration privileges, it is a critical design mistake. Actions needing administration privileges must be performed

Firstly, I would like to say that it is not a very good idea to launch any app from a deferred CA. Because, this app will be started with SYSTEM account and administration privileges.. Make sure this app won't deal with any user settings (HKCU, c:\Documents and settings\user). Make sure

Yes the CA is running with noimpersonate. Worked fine with Vista RC2 but won´t be elevated on Vista final. So i´ve build a Bootstrapper which will elevate this CA. The FindWindow Solution won´t be easy to implement, but its good to know that this is a well known problem and the only workaround.
