Exiting MSI install if user is not Admin on Vista

I don't know, but I must be missing something. I have my install set to check to see if the user is an Admin, I do the check for Privileged at the begining of the install and I also have the 'Require Administrative Pribileges' set to Yes, but when the install is ran on Vista with a Non-Admin user it will prompt for the Admin password and continue the install. During the install it will then encounter an error and exit.

If the user is a real admin then the install will go fine, but not under an regular user that enters the Admin password.

Is there any way I can totally prevent a Non-Admin from continuing the install until they actually log in as admin?

Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps see if MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION will do what you want?

Okay so setting this property: MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION should force the user to log in as a real admin on Vista?

Will this property have any affect on XP/2000?

Will explicitly setting this property to 1 have any other affects on the install project? Causing any ill behavior?

Thanks,
