I need to launch an installed executable that depends on an assembly being GAC'd. I know that assemblies are committed to the GAC during the InstallFinalize CA, but I need my CA to launch during the ExecuteDeferred sequence using the System Context so that it will work using ActiveDirectory on a Locked Down system.

Is there anyway to make this work without putting the custom action in the ExecuteImmediate sequence?

Any help is appreciated!

Have you tried a deferred custom action flagged with system context execution directly prior to InstallFinalize? InstallFinalize starts the transaction of the install and hence essentially runs the script "again" from InstallInitialize to InstallFinalize. Files should therefore be on disk when you reach this position in deferred context. Sorry if I misinterpreted the question.

I added a custom action directly before InstallFinalize within the ExecuteDeferred sequence with System Context flag set. The problem is that the assemblies are not committed to the GAC until the InstallFinalize custom action in the ExecuteDeferred sequence is run.

It is not really conceptually clean, but a commit custom action might do it.
