Verify windows authentication credentials before installing?
Basic MSI:
If a user selects windows authentication on my sql login dialog and enters invalid credentials, the problem is not caught by the dialog. The install tries to run then errors out. Is there a way to check these credentials before leaving the dialog?

Windows authentication is meant to use the logged on user credentials.
It is not at all required to enter the credentails when windows authentication is chosen. So you are stating your problem incorrectly or something is funny here.
Take a look at SQL Management studio(Assuming you have SQL 2005 or greater installed and client management tools also installed). Select windows authentication to log into the SQL Server and you will understand what i mean.

My apologies. I could have stated that a bit more clearly.
What I mean is if a user selects windows authentication, but his/her windows credentials are not valid on the target machine (the db server), the dialog displays no error and the installation later fails.
