Severity
Warning
Message
This Windows Installer database contains non-impersonated immediate custom action [CUSTOM_ACTION_NAME] (Table: CustomAction, Key: [CUSTOM_ACTION_KEY]).
Background
The purpose of a deferred execution custom action is to delay a system change until the installation script runs. This differs from a regular custom action or a standard action, where the installation executes the action immediately. Immediate custom actions are not elevated; therefore, actions that make system changes should be deferred in execution until in-script is generated.
Resolution
The following resolutions are available. Note that this issue is not resolved automatically by default.
Manual Fix
All custom actions that make system changes should be deferred in execution to run in the script.
Basic Auto Fix
No resolution is available.
Advanced Auto Fix
Non-impersonated immediate custom actions are marked to run as deferred actions in a Windows Installer transform.
