Win7 and Vista UAC requests permission on app startup

Try installing it in a folder other than "program files" or "program files (x86)"

V

 

I installed it in a folder other than Program Files and it still gives me the "permission" window pop-up.

 

I believe it sets itself to "run as administrator". You can alter this in the properties of the shortcut (right-click -> Properties -> Compatibility tab? ), however if you are in a Program Files or Program Files (x86) folder on Vista/7, it needs those rights as its data is stored there. If you're installed elsewhere, you should be fine.

 

It wasn't set to "Run as administrator". I even tried setting it to "Run as administrator" but that didn't do it either. Still get that annoying pop-up everytime. :x

 

Currently there are no easy ways to "white list" any program to not notify you when you have UAC enabled. That capacity is simply not a part of the system, as it stands. Either it's on, or it's off, but no granular controls.

It's a point of contention, as Microsoft has code that lets it (and presumably exploitable by Malware as well) to bypass UAC for its own programs. One wonders what good it does at all, but so far I'd have to recommend UAC to be on for any user. The number of Malware and viruses that may exploit it are much smaller than the ones that don't, against which the UAC does offer some amount of protection. Additionally there are reports that say that turning UAC off makes further changes which can interfere with a number of other program's ability function correctly. It's a nasty can of worms, really.

There are other ways around it, but none of them I've tested and may be more harm than good. However, if you're so driven to distraction, perhaps you can give this a try:

Caveat Utilitor

 

I have this problem too, except mine once I click and give it permission to run doesn't run it. My comp thinks for a second and then nothing happens. I am running in windows7 64 bit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Did you set it to run as Admin?

Here are the many ways you can do this in Windows 7!

 

I did do that still nothing, i have also tried not installing it in either of the program folders and to no avail.
