I need help with %UserName%

[stoja]

Hi!

I need help with %UserName% variable.

Example:

If Username of computer (%UserName%) is stoja then continue installation
of
If is another user, (%UserName%) abort installation

(Is user of the computer)


Is that possible????


Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oscar.

Hi again,

Sorry, the variable is %RegOwner%.

The examples:

- If in %RegOwner% the user is demo then continue installation.
- Or if in %RegOwner% the user is another then abort installation.


Can anyone help me?

Thanks.
Oscar

Hi. No need to check both, just check for a negative, continuance is by default if no error occurs, i.e.

if %RegOwner% ~= "stoja" then
Application.Exit();
end

Hope that helps. :)

Hi!

This code is compatible on SF 6 or 7?

How to put the code?

Hi. I don't have a copy of Setup Factory 6.0 in front of me, but I'll be sure to check into it on Monday and let you know. :yes

Thanks

The SUF60 syntax is:

IF (!(%RegOwner% = "stoja"))
Abort Setup
END IF

You don't prefer to use %LANUser%?

Hi!

VERY THANKS for the code.

I have another question...

For example if the user is not stoja then close installation, but doesn't show an error.

How to show a error before closes the setup?


Thanks.
Oscar

Yes, you are right Oscar. Never shut down the app without telling the user WHY.

Use the Show Message Box action with a message like this:

Sorry, only stoja is allowed to run this app.

The program will now exit.

The Message Box is really useful when you need to debug your app (to check the content of a variable at different stages).

Another tip: You want to display a message in a screen. You can build your message through several IF statements by using a variable like %MyMessage%. To obtain the layout you want, it's useful to have a 'new line' code available.

Example:
Prjoject>Settings>Deisgn Time Constants: Add two values, #ASC_LF# = 10 and #ASC_CR# = 13.

Assign Value(%NL% = #ASC_CR##ASC_LF#)
Assign Value(%MyMessage% = The machine is owned by %RegOwner%) [Evaluate value as expression is UNCHECKED]
Assign Value(%MyMessage% = %MyMessage% + %NL% + "Are you a pretender, " + %LANUser% + "?" + %NL% [Evaluate value as expression is CHECKED]
Assign Value(%MyMessage% = %MyMessage% + %NL% + "You KNOW you are not allowed to run this app!" + %NL% [Evaluate value as expression is CHECKED]
Assign Value(%MyMessage% = %MyMessage% + "We are going to EXIT" [Evaluate value as expression is CHECKED]
Show Message Box(%MyMessage%)
I loved SUF60; but SUF70 is a NEW WORLD though...

Hi csd214!

For SUF6 the code is

IF (!(%RegOwner% = "stoja"))
Abort Setup
END IF

but..
What is the code for the SUF7 ?



Thanks.
Oscar

Hi Oscar,

the SUF70 code:
if SessionVar.Expand("%RegOwner%") ~= "stoja" then
Dialog.Message("Warning", "Only stoja has permission to run this app"
.."\r\nWe are going to close the program", MB_OK, MB_ICONSTOP, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
Application.Exit();
end
