Sorry, that was not entirely coherent.  What I meant was, is it possible
for me to specify a manifest for the DTF process to force elevated
priveleges?

Subject: [WiX-users] Privileged custom actions

In the thread titled "ServiceInstall Fails due to CRT", Bob mentions
that custom actions running after InstallFinalize will run in an
non-elevated context.  I ran across this article on stackoverflow:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/304353/mark-msi-so-it-has-to-be-run-a
s-elevated-administrator-account

Wondering whether, since DTF custom actions run  out-of-proc, I could
just add the correct manifest to the CustomAction.config file and it
would always be forced to execute elevated?  I'm going to give it a try,
but if anyone knows better, please speak up. 

Thanks,
Jeremy
