Check for admin privileges for Windows Registry Update?

[drostowsky]

A user was attempting to install with our installer on a machine where they did not have admin privileges. Our installer uses the Windows Registry Update action. They got the below exception. How do I make sure a user has the correct privileges before taking an action like this?
