InstallAnywhere 8.0.1 Enterprise: How to validate user has administrator rights

We use InstallAnywhere 8.0.1 Enterprise to create install kits. Some of the actions require administrator rights. How can we validate that the user installing the software has administrator rights?

Thanks,
Jayan

There is a isCurrentUserAdmin() method in the IA API, check the JavaDoc.

It will not work as expected on all OSes. Test it thoroughly!
