I am using InstallShield developer 7
How I can come to know if any user is installing\uninstalling
the software is in non-admin mode.
I used the following function

if (Is (USER_ADMINISTRATOR, szIsData) = FALSE) then

for checking non admin mode
in onbegin function but it is not working for me.

I just want to give a message box if anybody installs/unistalls
our software in non admin mode.

Can anybody suggest me how I can overcome this problem.
I'll be very thankful as I am facing this problem since long.

Thanks

You are in the wrong setion of the forum. Which project type are you actually using? "Basic MSI" or "InstallScript MSI" (aka "Standard")

I am using 'Standard project' in InstallShield Developer 7.01

[Stefan Krueger]

"Standard" is the older name for "InstallScript MSI" therefore I'm moving this question to the appropriate forum.

[Stefan Krueger]

"Standard" projects require pre-instalaltion of the InstallShield scripting engine which requires admin privileges if I recall correctly. This happens before your script even starts to run. You may be able to edit the error message, I think it's stored in a language INI file.
