There's a wix extension in http://msiext.codeplex.com that can add the user to a local group if he is not in it, and there's 99% of the code that would allow you to write an immediate custom action to check whether a user is a member of a group (the code that checks exists, but it hasn't been exposed as a CA). Feel free to contribute.
-dB. In many scenarios what I noticed is that people try to do this to find out whether a user is an Administrator or has a specific privilege. There're other better ways to do that. Maybe you want something else :) dB. @ dblock.org Moscow|Geneva|Seattle|New York -----Original Message----- From: Castro, Edwin G.
