Hi,
I have created a setup project which installs a Network service. In the
installer, I had to set some security permissions so that Network
service can access my installation folder. Since, only administrators
can change the access list, I need to specify that admin privileges are
required to run the installer.

Is there a way to ask for admin password(if he is not an admin), find
out whether the account is valid, and exit if it is invalid, else
continue the installation.
Is there a way to do all this from the project installer.

Thanks in advance.
