If Condition
You can specify a condition that should be met for the action to be performed. If the condition is false then the command is skipped. See How to use If Condition for more details.
Run as Administrator
Check it on if you want to run the application with administrative rights. Don't check it on if the 'Administrative rights are not required' checkbox in Install root is unchecked, because, by default, if your setup runs with administrative rights then it runs other applications with administrative rights too. This checkbox can be usefull when the installation runs without administrative rights but you need to run some program as administrator during the installation process.
