[WiX-users] Domain Admin check in wix installer

Hi wix-users.. Is there any way to check whether user is domain admin on Active Directory with wix (expecially in wix 3.9). Let's say we have group X which is sub-group under group 'Domain Admins', so any user who is member of group X automatically becomes domain admin. Basically I want to make

Not sure I understand, but if you want to modify MsiPackage/@DownloadUrl at runtime, you can do that in your ResolveSource handler. The package at the URL you specify must be the exact same package as was available to Burn when the setup was compiled or you will get hash failures. There is a 1:1

Use the ExePackage/@InstallCommand, but the specific flag depends on the design of the exe. Did you mean to use a /q or a -q rather than \q? I don't think I have ever seen \q used before. The vendor of the exe package should provide the correct syntax for that package. -- View this message
