That's true. I was keeping it simple since `custom actions are evil`..... :-)

The difficulty with a registry check is that it can be out of date. It
can look one way but be in the opposite state because it requires a reboot to
set it. So if a user resets it the registry entry will say zero but it will
still be active until a reboot.
It seems to me that if its the app that doesnt work with UAC enabled then
its up to the app to do the check. What will happen if UAC is enabled after
the install has been done?

I'm sure you about to get jumped for even thinking about it.... :-)
However, UAC/LUA can be manipulated via policy and it gets stored in the
registry like:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000002
"ConsentPromptBehaviorUser"=dword:00000001
"EnableInstallerDetection"=dword:00000001
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000001
"EnableSecureUIAPaths"=dword:00000001
"EnableVirtualization"=dword:00000001
"PromptOnSecureDesktop"=dword:00000001
"FilterAdministratorToken"=dword:00000000
"LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy"=dword:00000001

I want to detect if UAC is turned on in Vista and refuse to install if it
