Did you try my suggestion of LogonUser?
<SetProperty Id="DATABASE_USERNAME" Value="[LogonUser]"
Before="InstallInitialize" Sequence="execute" />
The problem is that this will only return the name and not the domain so you
might have to resort to a custom action.
I don't think reading the environment variables will work as the MSI is in the
context of the msiexec service not the user that is logged on.

Sigh, now I am getting nothing...
I have tried:
<SetProperty Id="DATABASE_USERNAME" Value="[%USERDOMAIN]\[%USERNAME]"
Before="InstallInitialize" Sequence="execute" />
where LogonDomainName is:
<?define LogonDomainName = "[%USERDOMAIN]"?>
how hard can it be to get a system variable at runtime?
