In this particular case, CAS is complaining because candle is signed, but isn't marked with the APTCA (AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute) in the assembly level attributes. As such, when it is launched from a partially trusted context (like a network share), it fails instantly.
To get around this, you would need to grant the assembly FullTrust. This is easy to do in a granular, secure way though, because WiX is signed. You can use a strong name membership condition with the WiX public key token to grant FullTrust. It might be possible to code WiX so that it could safely include APTCA and actually could run partially trusted, but I'm pretty sure it does a lot of COM interop which requires Full Trust anyway and given that it is a development tool, this is probably not worth doing. The WiX team has plenty of other stuff to work on. :) If it were a downloadable control, then that would be a different story...
