I don't under this from Microsoft's documentation. What is the difference between property "Priviledged" and "AdminUser". Sometimes i see Priviledged is set but AdminUser is not.

Which one i should be using in my LaunchCondition table?

Anybody?
Thanks

When Priviliged is set, the user is either member of an administrative group, or has the policy AlwaysInstallElevated set (both system and user), or is running a managed installation.

When Priviliged is set, and the user is NOT an administrator, the Execute sequence will be run with the credentials as set for the Windows Installer service.


For my project, I just copied the setting from an office installation. It's something like:

Condition: Priviliged OR (Action~="ADMIN")
Message: To install [ProductName], you must be an administrator, or have been approved to install by your administrator.
