The problem is getting the installer to consider AdminUser only when the OS is Windows 2008 R2 And not to consider it on any other OS.
If a user runs this install on Windows 2008 R2 and they are not "running as Administrator", then I want an error to come up and say You need to be an administrator. Ideally they would run this install from inside a command prompt window that is running as administrator. If a user runs this install on any other OS .. just proceed with the install, don't bother with the "running as Administrator" check. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Farrell [mailto:jfarr...@pillardata.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2011 5:12 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
