Reference the "TerminalServerAware" attribute of the CustomAction element in the WiX help.
TerminalServerAware YesNoType This attribute specifies controls whether the custom action will impersonate the installing user during per-machine installs on Terminal Server machines. Deferred execution custom actions that do not specify this attribute, or explicitly set it 'no', will run with no user impersonation on Terminal Server machines during per-machine installations. This attribute is only applicable when installing on the Windows Server 2003 family. -----Original Message----- From: Dmitry Berkovich [mailto:dber...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, April 17, 2009 6:06 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
