 you ''should'' be asked to grant admin rights. similar is implemented in
 the OSGeo4W-setup.

 additional check may be if you run as admin:

 [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8732019/how-do-you-request-
 administrator-permissions-using-nsis example 1]

 [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8821476/nsis-installing-an-
 application-to-always-run-as-administrator example 2]

 something like:

 {{{
 !include LogicLib.nsh

 Function .onInit
 UserInfo::GetAccountType
 pop $0
 ${If} $0 != "admin" ;Require admin rights on NT4+
     MessageBox mb_iconstop "Administrator rights required!"
     SetErrorLevel 740 ;ERROR_ELEVATION_REQUIRED
     Quit
 ${EndIf}
 FunctionEnd
