Umesh, Thanks for responding to my question.
I am using OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE, ...). When I execute the same exact code from a system account with elevated privileges using PSEXEC, it works, so I know there is something wrong with the privileges when my code runs as a Custom Action. I also have verified this by looking at the privileges with Process Explorer. Any other ideas?
