9) Launch condition

 we check for some global settings and stop the installation if our conditions are not met. Just add this line to our previous sample somewhere not within a feature (for instance, between the Package and Media tags) and it will refuse to run if you're not an administrator on your machine.

<Condition Message="You need to be an administrator to install this product.">
	Privileged
</Condition>
