For username you could try passing the USERNAME or LogonUser property to your custom action (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372385.aspx & http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369780.aspx). That may also give you the domain but as the MSDN pages don't tell you what the format of those Properties are you might need to do some debugging to check it first. Password you'll need to prompt for, no other way around it.
Since you're writing a C# custom action things like domain & username should be quite easy to pull in .NET using System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() rather than having to pass properties from Windows Installer but that's beyond the scope of this discussion list.

Now in this managed custom action i am getting unauthorized access error because anonymous access is disabled on iis of that machine. What i want is to pass the current users credentials to this c# custom action. Now how do i achieve this ? Do i need to ask the user to enter his credentials in UI and then use it in my C# custom action. Or is there any other way to get the current users credentials (domain, username, password).
