part of setup exe runs under system account

Hi,
I have a setupt program that calls an exe as custom action, problem is this
exe gets executed under system account, while setup runs under olgged in
user account, that prevents exe to make sql connections, as it is using
windows authentication.
If i run that exe separately it runs under logged in user account.

does anyone have any idea what to do next?

Thanks in advance,
Prashant

I think You can do, OpenProcessToken() and use the returned TokenHandle in
ImpersonateLoggedOnUser().
