Upgrade Should Allow Authentication on Mac OS X #770

Closed dgiffin closed 8 years ago

dgiffin commented 8 years ago

When I run the upgrade on Mac OS X it needs to be run as an Administrator account, would be really useful if the upgrade allowed me to authenticate as an Administrator rather than having to login in as an Administrator account to run the the upgrade.

I'll see if there is an option somewhere in the installer generator we use (Install4j) to automatically escalate to Administrator if you are using a non-Administrator account

jim618 commented 8 years ago

I have 'ticked the box' in the installer project so that if you are using a non-Admin account the installer asks for the username/ password of an Administrator.

I have tested generated installer using a non-Admin account on Mac and it works fine. It still needs testing on Win.

Awaiting review/ testing and closing

That is amazingly fast, thank you!

jim618 commented 8 years ago

No problem. Obviously the testing Gary and I have done have been on admin accounts and we didn't notice the lack of escalation. Thanks for the feedback

Tested the created Windows installer on our Win 8 test machine with a non-Administrator account. It correctly asked me for an administrator account name/ password before continuing the installation..

Awaiting review and closing.
