Hi All,

If an user run the installer without administrator permissions, the installer is going to create all folder but it's not going to be able to create the services. The installation is completed successfully when it should be give an error.

I think you should check the user running the installer, and abort the installation if the user's not an administrator!

Thank you for Reply then how to give proper warning message if user doesn't have admin privileges.

without proper warning message the installer is going to create all folder but it's not going to be able to create the services. The installation is completed successfully when it should be give an error.

I would say something like that...

[CODE]package ;

import com.zerog.ia.api.pub.*;
import com.installshield.wizard.service.security.*;
import com.installshield.wizard.service.ServiceException;

public class CheckIfUserHasAdministrativeRights extends CustomCodeAction {

public void install( InstallerProxy installerProxy ) throws InstallException {

SecurityService ss = (SecurityService) installerProxy.getService(SecurityService.class);

try
{
if (ss.isCurrentUserAdmin())
{//The user installing the designer has administrative rights
installerProxy.setVariable( "USER_HAS_ADMINISTRATIVE_RIGHTS", "true" );
}
else
{
installerProxy.setVariable( "USER_HAS_ADMINISTRATIVE_RIGHTS", "false" );
}
} catch (ServiceException e) {//Do nothing...
}
return;
}

public void uninstall( UninstallerProxy uninstallerProxy ) throws InstallException {
}

public String getInstallStatusMessage() {
return null;
}

public String getUninstallStatusMessage() {
return null;
}


public static void main( String[] strings ) {

}
}
[/CODE]
