runas admin but who is the current user?

[KathyBailey]

Is there a function in installshield that will tell me who the current user is when the install is runas administrator?

We are calling a third party installer that is leaving a shortcut directly on the current user's desktop that I need to remove.

While my install is running as Admin it only sees admin's desktop as the current user instead of the REAL current user.

thanks for any help.

The installation contex is different for your packages:

• third party installer contex is CurrentUser
  
• your installer conex is SomeAdministrator
  

Just try to run both installers under one contex. it could be SomeAdministrator conex. In this scenario third party installer will create shortcut for SomeAdminitrator that easily can be deleted.
