Installation requires elevated privelages

Posted Nov 11, 2014 6:38 am

two different errors by two different people. both on Windows 7, one of which is 64x the first one i have no idea what the cause is.

the second one's error is that it REQUIRES ELEVATION LIKE IVE BEEN TELLING YOUR HAPPY ASS FOR HALF A YEAR NOW, KADAT

both the installer AND the actual application should ask for elevated privelages upon startup.

shouldnt need admin permissions to install. Thats kind of the whole point. worst case scenario, you might have to tweak your internet settings or something.

I use this AoB tool to make all the AoBs I post. Try the online version if you dont feel like downloading it.

thats strange. because its definitely throwing the error of requiring permissions. i think im gonna wipe my comp anyways, so that should fix the problem.

Or just right click - run as admin. Instead of a double left click, a single right click then a single left click.  Just sayin. ;)


lol im not THAT much of a retard, tim =P
it doesnt have an option to run as admin, and you cant change the settings so it runs as admin either. meh

Damn man.  Did your UAC settings get maxed?  There's also that IE security thing about trusted apps and what not that WILL effect your ability to install ClickOnce apps.



no, i think it mightve been a windows bug. it kept acting like the system was an admin, and the admin was both admin and user. was all kinda of fucked up. changing the uac didnt do anything, hence the reinstalling OS lol
