Is it possible for me to execute a C# app as the currently logged in user during the installation sequence?
I could probably use some code inside the C# app to impersonate the user, but then I would have to prompt them for their password, which I don't want to do.
Currently, I have this app run after the installation is completed, but that causes problems when it fails and the installation isn't rolled back.

By default, custom actions do run with the privileges of the user who launched the installation. Assuming your user is kicking off the installation, your custom actions will run under his account (by default).
The default can be changed so that no impersonation is used - search for the following topics in the SDK:
1) "Custom Action Security".
2) "Custom Action In-Script Execution Options".
