In InstallShield there is a build in property called AdminUser.
See InstallShield help:
Property Name
AdminUser
Description
This property is set by the installer at installation and is only set on Windows NT or Windows 2000 or later if the user has administrative privileges. AdminUser is always set on Windows 9x.
Guess Wise will have such a propery as well.
Hope this will help.

In InstallShield go to Description, General Information, Product Properties.
Under Product Properties you'll find an option Install Condition.
Here you can set a condition like:
AdminUser=1, with a message popping up if AdminUser<>1 like:
You ain't admin, install won't continue.

Hi
If I set a property AdminUser with Value 1 it is still installing my package.

Set the property ALLUSERS=1 in trhe property table.
This will stop users from installing the application unless they have admin rights.

I think you will find that the AdminUser property is only set by the installer service if the user is an administrator.
Setting ALLUSERS=1 does not allow non admins to install the app.
