How to detect administrator rights under Vista

In http://www.kinook.com/Forum/showthre...?threadid=2258 you describe how to run Visual Build as an administrator under Vista.

How can I detect if Visual Build is run with administrator rights? I want to fail with an error, if it is run without administrator rights.

Thanks,
Peter

The simplest way would probably be to attempt something that requires admin/elevated privileges (for instance, writing to a registry key/value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or writing to a file under C:\Program Files) and fail the build if that fails.

Another option would be to call Bill Stewart's isadmin.exe utility (https://westmesatech.com/?page_id=23) or iselevated (https://westmesatech.com/?page_id=49) from a Run Program action. Use a 'Success exit codes' field value of 1 to succeed for elevated admins and fail for unelevated admins and non-admins.
