    Setup Project - Test If User Is An Administrator?

    Is there a good way to test if a user is an administrator at the start
    of a setup, and abort (with an error message) if they are not?

    there are several ways this is just one

    If My.User.IsAuthe nticated ANDALSO My.User.IsInRol e("Administrato rs") Then
    'Yes he / she is administrator
    End If

    I have seen code that just tryed to write at certain locations to see if
    the user had apropriate rights on the system
    low level but it is also a way of ensuring that your program can get
    installed on the target system, from a certain point of view
    it isn`t even as bad as it sounds :-)
