Is your custom action deferred? You can't run an immediate custom action under LocalSystem (impersonating LocalSystem is not supported, but deferred custom actions run in a different process that already runs as LocalSystem).

The KB says If it is necessary to run your custom action when using the local system security context, set the attributes of the custom action in the CustomAction table to either 3072 (msidbCustomAction TypeInScript + msidbCustomAction TypeNoImpersonate) I've already done this, but seems it's still using the admin user's account, not the LocalSystem account. What does "using the local system security context" mean? It is not equal to "using LocalSystem account"?
