Custom Message when setup.exe is launched without admin privilege
In the release section, I have set Required Execution Level to Administrator. How can I provide a custom message to the user if the setup.exe is run without Admin privilege?
Another question around messaging. Under General Information, I have setup Install Conditions. Can I a newline character to that message?

When Installshield builds the setup.exe it uses the strings that are specified in a .ini file which you can find here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\VERSION\Support
For English, open the 0x0409.ini
You should be able to find the message you want to alter in here. Once altered, save the .ini file and rebuild your installer.
Please be aware that this would be a product wide change that will affect all setup.exe's for all projects.
