I found OR Priviledged to work better than OR AdminUser. It actually triggered a Windows message rather than the message in the condition.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] One install for multiple OS 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.
