Hi,
I’m new to this forum, so sorry if I duplicate an issue.
I want to update a program without using Administrative elevation, but I’m having trouble when it comes to downloading the files from the web server (the wyUpdate program opens fine without elevation), but after clicking the button to update, I get the elevation request.
Is there any way I can force a particular location? If not, I don’t mind granting the user account with access to the default download location (therefore not requiring Admin elevation), but I don’t know where this location is. I’m open to any ideas!
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Martin.
If wyUpdate is in a folder that requires elevated permissions to install files, then it will ask for those permissions to install files.
MartinHTYes, that is what it’s doing, but the users don’t have these details (for security reasons) that’s why I’m trying to avoid this situation. If I know the download location, I can give the users read/write permission to that folder (via domain policies) and the problem is resolved.
I just need to know the physical location where it is trying to download or force a specific location where the user has these permissions.
Thanks,
Martin
The download location doesn't matter. The installation location matters.
MartinHTI’m not too sure I understand. If the users (without Admin privileges) does not have read/write permission to the download location, would that not be the reason the wyUpdate is requesting elevation privileges?
The goal is that I need to update an application WITHOUT elevation privileges. The only reason elevation is being requested is that some process within wyUpdate is using something that the user does not have rights granted for. I’m supposing it is the download location, but I can’t be sure.
Your help would be appreciated.
Wyatt,
Could you please clarify me last question?
Thanks.
