Hi,

You can use "AdminUser" in any place where a Windows Installer Property can be used (including in a Launch Condition). However, it is not necessary to use a Launch Condition in order to abort the installation if the user does not have administrative privileges. You can set the Installation Type to "Per-machine only" (in the Install Parameters page) - the installation will fail if the user is not an administrator.

Please give me more details about what you are trying to achieve.
