Try using the [%USERDOMAIN] environment variable.

hi,

i know about the property [AdminUser] and its usage to allow admin only
installations.

but how to restrict the installation to domain admins only???

when creating a domain user, msi needs to have domain admin rights
otherwise it fails.

i'd like to test this condition in advance.

thx & cu tom

There's no built-in MSI property for detecting that, so you'd need to write
a custom action to set a property when appropriate then use that property in
a launch condition.
