Conditionally support for administrator rights requirement

[NewsArchive]

Is it possible to conditionally support the administrator rights requirement in
a script? I only require it if the user is installing a demo setup type which
includes MSDE.

Greg,

Yes, you can use the %PRIVILEGES% variable. If it holds "Admin" then you
have administrator privileges.

You can do something like the following:

If %PRIVILEGES% Not Equals "Admin" Then
Display Message Box "Administrator privileges required"
Exit Installation
End

Does this help?
