During my install I prompt the user for their username and password. I then try to verify this, but it requires elevated priviledges. The documentation says to add the msidbCustomActionTypeNoImpersonate flag to custom actions, but this flag only works on deferred actions.
Does anyone know of another way that I can verify the users password?
Thanks,

Why do you need to?
(The reason I ask is because >90% of the time when this question is asked, there is a better solution to the underlying issue than prompting for and handling passwords.)
I need to do this because I'm installing services that require a network username.

Would the NetworkService account meet your requirements? (NetworkService authenticates on the network as the computer account.)
Several issues come to mind with using the interactive user's account in the service context:
The could potentially work, but I will have to do some testing with the QA group.
Thanks,
