I've seen it called out as a security risk by the Windows Installer team, but I 
can't find the reference. You'd have to launch it separately.

Subject: [WiX-users] executing CA with logged on user not runas user

Hi,

In my scenario, most of the time the user who wants to install does
not have administrator priviledges, so an Administrator does a runas
and executes the setup for the user, when setup completes it launches
excel.exe, however the username for this process is administrator and
not the original logged in user.

Could this be a security risk? Any idea how to launch it as logged in
user? I tried the impersonate property, but it doesnt help.

Thanks in advance,
Nitin.
