It's not a problem, so much as we prompt a few screens of required info
before the "Install" button is hit.   Why have a user fill in these few
screens only to find out they have wrong permissions?  In the past, we could
prevent this from happening by the code i quoted.  So all i was trying was
to do the same behaviour in Windows 2008 R2 if possible.

I tried the exact "InstallPrivileges" and "Condition Message" line (with my
own msg of course), and now non-admin users cannot run the MSI and get my
warning message, which is great.   Running the MSI as Administrator works
fine.   But if i run the MSI as a user who is part of "Administrators"
group, shouldn't that user still be allowed to run the MSI?   That user
still gets denied like a regular user.   Again, this is Windows 2008 R2 if
that makes a difference.   Or am I missing something? 

Thanks!
