What credentials are you validating?
Are they database credentials or Windows credentials?
Generally, its best to put database stuff into a configuration
application that is launched at the end of installation (i.e. database
configuration is not done at MSI time, but after the MSI succeeds).
I've worked on a large installer that tried to do it at installation
time and it was nothing but a source of headaches. It was much more
reliable to do it after a successful installation with a utility.
For Windows credentials, its better to create accounts with exactly
the permissions needed instead of trying to get the credentials of
another account and act under that account.
