Get current user name when starting with UAC?

You can use the LsaEnumerateLogonSessions function to retreive what you need. However, it is a winapi C function call. If you need a managed version of it, I belive you can look at the source code for Cassia which uses this function in its terminal services API.

The call should be the same. You can also look here .

Run your initial setup. Exe as a small executable that puts up a splash screen while invoking your real setup program as a child process. The small EXE is not run as admin and can pass the logged in user name to the child process.

The child process invokes UAC and runs in the admin context but already has the logged in username as a command line parameter.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
