You shouldn't modify the function. Simply call it, and act as you wish according to its result. For example:

!include LogicLib.nsh
Function .onInit
  Call IsUserAdmin
  Pop $0
  ${If} $0 != "true"
    MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP "not admin"
    Quit
  ${EndIf}
FunctionEnd

Put $0 in a MessageBox and see what it says.

Can you post the exact code snippet that you are using?
I cannot find an exit point in the function that returns an empty value.

Looking at the script that you sent me... it is really quite obvious. You have commented out some key parts of code at the end of the function like so:
;Pop $R2
;Pop $R1
;Exch $R0

You really shouldn't modify functions unless you are 100% sure you know how they work. Uncomment those three lines.
