Hi,

Is there any registry key using which I can identify that weather the current user is Administrator or not...
I need to do this so that i can exit my Setup if the current user is not an Admin.

Or recoment me if there is some other way to achieve the same.



Thanks,

You can get this information from the WindowsPrincipal class.

Check out this article for a detailed code sample.

The trick here is in the line:

myPrincipal.IsInRole(  WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator ) ? "True"
 : "False"
,



You can check the current principal to check to see if the current user is an administrator.
