Testing Folder Permissions.

[purephase]

I wrote a small application to launch an install process (with command-line arguments etc.).

Are there any VB hooks that will launch an NT authentication box and return values back to the application?

The install process resides on a network share, and I'd like the user to enter credentials prior to launching the install. Rather than modify the perms. in the vb app, it just tests against the folder permissions, if it's unsuccessful, parse the error and return a message as such.

Code snippets would be helpful, but if anyone knows the hook to search under msdn that would also help. I haven't been able to find anything about this.

Thanks!
