c++ Get user permission set

[alag20]

Hi,
I want to make an exe which can check the current users permission as if they are an Administrator etc to check if they can install my application. As my application is in .Net and some users may not already have this, hence I want to make a program which checks their permission. If it is an Admin then triger the install other wise just display an error message and exit!

Can someone please help?

WindowsPrincipal wp = new WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent());
bool isAdmin = wp.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator);

The above is using .Net framework where as I am not sure even if the user has .Net framework! Something in C++ without .Net framework?

Well you asked your question in the .NET forum, I assumed you wanted .NET code.
I will move you to the correct forum.

This is C++ section - isnt it?

It is now that I moved it. You had posted it in the .NET forum.
