How to get user account, how had installed the software on the machine

I have a problem.

some one has installed our software as per user account bases (not per machine bases). So how i can get to know, which user account has installed the software on the machine. This installer has been devloped in install shield 2009.

its was a bug of our installer. By default s/w should be install as per machine bases.so now no one know, who had installed the software on the machine because that guy only can do uninstall or upgrade the software. so how other user can get to know who had installed it for running the upgrade.

Thanks in advance................

Hello sushil.may.

The ProductState property may work.

According to help the library, INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT(2) means 'The product is installed for a different user.'

But I have no idea how you can get the user name who once installed it...
