If you happen to know the answer, please let us know.
Basically, there are some strange problems if the app is launched right after
installation. But it works fine if the app is triggered from the system Start
menu. Initially I thought this is our app's problem. But some of our developers
dug in and try to convince me that the Integrity Level is different between
launching it right after installation and triggered from Start menu. But I'm
not
sure they are correct or not.
So my question is, why they have different Integrity Level? And how to make it
the same as normal cases.
Thanks.

Thanks Rob for your reply.
Honestly, I'm not sure when the custom action is scheduled because I took the
example("How To: Run the Installed Application After Setup") from Wix.chm.
Here's our code:
<Property Id="WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOXTEXT"
Value="!(loc.LaunchAppString) $(var.ApplicationName)" />
<Property Id="WixShellExecTarget" Value="[INSTALLLOCATION]$(var.ExeFile)" />
<CustomAction Id="LaunchApplication"
BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="WixShellExec"
Impersonate="no"
/>
<Publish Dialog="ExitDialog"
Control="Finish"
Event="DoAction"
Value="LaunchApplication">
WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOX = 1 and NOT Installed
</Publish>
As you can see, it's almost identical to the original example code in Wix.chm.
Anyways, I also run the installer and checked the log. Here's some log:
MSI (c) (B8:D4) [11:44:33:697]: Decrementing counter to disable shutdown. If
counter >= 0, shutdown will be denied. Counter after decrement: -1
MSI (c) (B8:D4) [11:44:33:697]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Deleting SECONDSEQUENCE

MSI (c) (B8:48) [11:44:36:124]: Custom Action Manager thread ending.
So the question now is: is there a way to launch the application by giving the
same Integrity Level as we start it from the system Start menu?
Thanks a lot.

When is your custom action scheduled?
