run as admin required? #44

Open UAlbanyErich opened 2 years ago

UAlbanyErich commented 2 years ago

I don't normally use SpineOMatic, but in troubleshooting a connection issue, I "installed" it (to c:\Spine) using a local admin account. SpineLabeler.exe wouldn't open for my normal, unprivileged account, but it did open if my account was given admin rights. I adjusted the NTFS security so all users have "full control" to the entire folder, but SpineLabeler.exe still won't open if my account is unprivileged. Windows shows a very brief "wait circle", and if I'm watching processes, I can see the SpineLabeler.exe appear and then immediately disappear.

Any ideas why? Are there permissions elsewhere (e.g. registry) that need to be granted?

Thanks.

@UAlbanyErich, it should not require admin privileges. Does the same problem happen if installed in a user directory rather than in the C root?

Yes, it does. Copying the folder or downloading a new copy of the .exe from here into a folder within the unprivileged user profile, and it attempting to start it as that unprivileged user does the same 1 second wait circle and nothing. Right-clicking -> run as admin and entering admin credentials and it starts right up.
