My application is installed at an enterprise level where there are separate SQL 
servers, SSRS servers and IIS servers and even if you have admin privileges on 
one box you may (and probably won't) on another box. I understand that this is 
not a typical installer.
I ended up just showing a hidden test field on the dialog when the next button 
is pressed which will work. I appreciate you help and suggestions.

Why does your application need a user's credentials?

If your application needs to do something that requires a specific
privelege, create an account that has interactive logins disabled that
has the necessary priveleges.

Generally, administrators are wary of installing applications that ask
for credentials and for good reason.  It introduces a potential
security vulnerability and also introduces unnecessary coupling to
those credentials.
