My application is installed in: c:\Program Files (x86)\MyFolderI have tried giving USERS, EVERYONE, the current user account, etc Full Control rights to My Folder above and all subfolders and files.
Still, when a limited user tries to update my application (even running wyUpdate.exe directly) I get the subject error message.
Any help or ideas?Thx
Upon further troubleshooting, I have determined that the problem lies in a file I am trying to update a folder in the %programdata% (aka Common AppData) directory. My installer gave USERS full control rights to this folder and all subdirs and files within it but running wyBuild update with a change in this file creates the error. If I do not change this file in my folder in the %programdata% directory, the update works via a limited user acct.
Can't figure out what the problem is. Any help?
If you want wyUpdate to not request admin permission then you need to do one of the following:
1. Install your app to %appdata% and don't make use of any system registry or file/folder locations.
Or...
2. Install your app to another folder, and only that folder. And make sure you give "Everyone" full control over the folder (including the permissions to add/remove other users).
Obviously #1 is the more secure "proper" option.
Or if you want to install apps system-wide then use the default security systems (i.e. require UAC when updating / modifying apps).
