Launch installed file under currently logged in user

Hi,

I have a problem: We have an updater program, which triggers installations of our software products if new updates are avialable.
Our updater is running as a service under the local system account, if a self-update was triggert, the installation of the updater ends
successfully, but the updater gui.exe gets launched by the msi custom action under the local system account (after Add resources, after the system has been successfully modified, with no impersonation)

Is there any possible way to get the gui.exe launched by the MSI under the currently logged on user,
or I have to accomplish/implement it by myself?

Re: Launch installed file under currently logged in user

Hi,

I'm afraid that this is not possible. The custom action will be launched under the same account as the process that fired it (in your case SYSTEM account).
