If the application is manifested as "requiresAdministrator" (see the requestedExecutionLevel element here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756929.aspx) then your app will prompt the user and be elevated when launched, no matter from where that launch occurs.

Hi, I am having trouble to implement a WIX project which requires the installed application to be launched just after its installation. I have read many articles and couldn't find a way to do it. The articles says that I need to flag my custom action as Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" to make it get elevated. On the other hand, the articles says that "deferred" actions must be before 'InstallFinalize' and after 'InstallInitialize'. That means, I cannot define a "deferred" custom action to be run after the regular 'finish screen'. I am pretty sure that there are many people in the world that needs something like that. But I really don't know how to come up with a solution for this. Could you please let me know if you know a solution. A simple code example would be great if you have any. Any help is greatly appreciated.
