And if you do that..... 1) Make sure the properties you are setting are SecureCustomProperties otherwise they won't make it to the execute in a elevated install. 2) If there's an expectation for the user to pass a value at the command line that your Custom Action doesn't blast what the user passed in. --- Christopher Painter, Author of Deployment Engineering Blog Have a hot tip, know a secret or read a really good thread that deserves attention?

But I also need them to run in a "quiet" installation. So it seems they need to also be in InstallExecuteSequence. I've currently got them in both sequences, and am using the UILevel property to prevent them from running twice. Is there a cleaner or more standard way to do this?
