Win Vista blocks an other msi package

Hi all !
please help me resolving the following problem:
my setup starts another msi package, this works fine on win xp. On win Vista i have to make a mouse right click and start the Setup.exe as Administrator, otherwise the setup interuppts. Strange is: I log on as an user with admin priviliges. Wehn a user with admin priviliges starts the setup by doppel clicking it, this problem occurs.
Can anyone tell me why win vista blocks the msi package (as a customer action) to start ?
Any helps will be appreciated !

The CA which starts MSI should have “In-Script Execution” set to “Deferred Execution in System Context” if you MSI require administrative privileges. You may read more information on deferred execution in manual.
Hope this helps.

While this is true in general, it won't work if your custom action is caling msiexec.exe to install another msi. ut that's not recommended anyway. You'd better install the other MSI as a prerequisite.
