How can I check what access authorisation has the user
Hallo,
how can I check whether the user who installs my IA - Project has enough access authorisation?
Thanks for any help,
Anna

Check the API documentation, you've got this method:
isCurrentUserAdmin
public boolean isCurrentUserAdmin()
throws ServiceException
This method is useful to developers when creating a custom bean. Checks if the current user has admin privileges.
Returns:
"True" if the user is "admin" ("root" in UNIX).
Throws:
ServiceException
(it's in the com.installshield.wizard.service.security package).

Sorry, I'm new here, the IA7.3 didn't have installshield package. Can you tell me, where can I have some examples to this thema. All could I find were the references to InstallShield and nothing to IA.
Thank you.
Anna

I'm afraid you need to upgrade to at least version 8 in order to be able to use these APIs. In version 8 they've started to integrate InstallShield APIs into InstallAnywhere. As you've posted in the InstallAnywhere 2008 Value Pack 1 specific forum, I automatically assumed that this is the version you have. The correct forum in which you should have posted is this one: http://community.macrovision.com/forumdisplay.php?f=244 (InstallAnywhere - Versions prior to 2008)

Then I guess there won't be any problem there, as this version contains the APIs I was mentioning in my initial post. So basically you can achieve what you want easily with this new version, so this might be an incentive to upgrade.

The IAClasses.zip I've got with the evaluation License doesn't have package security with the class SecurityService. The the package com.installsheild.wizard.service contains only the class ServiceException. Do I have to download any special data?

I think you'll need ...IA/resource/services/services.jar, too.
