Hi

i need that my setup will not work unless the user has
Administrator privileges

i have tried to set the features with these conditions:
Condition:AdminUser,Level:200
OR
Condition:AdminUser,Level:100

but the setup still workes...

i need some condition that will be project releted and not feature releted,
and one that actually works.

thank you

Hi,

have a look at the "LaunchCondition" table and the property "Privileged".

regards,
Udo

[donimoni]

where do i find "LaunchCondition" table ?

[felltier-a]

For example by editing your MSI with "Orca"

isn't there a simple way from within the installshield 2008 premier
Installation designer?

[felltier-a]

I don´t have IS2008 but in previous versions the tables can be changed in "direct editor"

[donimoni]

do you know what is the correct Condition syntax?

[Stefan Krueger]

In InstallShield go to the Installation Designer tab > Instalaltion information > General information > Product Properties > Install Condition. Add a condition:
Privileged
with an appropriate error message. See attached screen shot.

"Privileged" is the condition i need to verify the loggedin user is Admin?

[felltier-a]

Privileged property
AdminUser property

[Stefan Krueger]

Privileged is what typically is used. It will be set if the user is admin or has the permission to install with elevated rights. AdminUser wouldn't cover the latter, and on Vista Windows Instaler lied about AdminUser in the UI sequence to make older setups play nicely with UAC.
