Run exe after installation with user rights

I am using Visual Studio 2010 on windows 7 and developing a windows forms application in c# with a setup project ( msi ) that comes with visual studio.

I have added a custom action :

        protected override void OnCommitted(IDictionary savedState)
    {
        base.OnCommitted(savedState);
        Process.Start(@"Path");
    }

But when my application starts, it starts with the user "NTSYSTEM". I want it to start with the logged in windows user account instead.

How can i manage that?

Thank you.

Solution

  • I solved it...

    Added a javascript to run the program in the Post-Build property for the setup project and it started as a user instead of the system.
