Perhaps the scripting support in ISX (hasn't made it into plain
InnoSetup yet) would work? I seem to recall suggestions for functions
to determine current administrator state.

If InnoSetup was in C/C++ I'd probably go for it, but Delphi is one
environment I just don't have around.
But I may poke to see about replicating current behavior with ISX - is
there an old Wise help file or something else to help decoding the wse
file? A lot of it is obvious, but some of the flags and what not
aren't.
