running without admin privileges

[fdch]

Hi Dan,

So, I tried packaging the binary+libs to run from another machine and it appears that I must have admin privileges to bypass the antivirus. It was the only Windows computer I had access to, so I could not test the build.

I will see from the students' computers and see if everything worked out correctly.

I just don't know how to compile and have a binary that is not from an unidentified dev so that it does not raise that kind of warning that prevents me from running joyosc.

It probably needs to tell Windows what privileges it needs:

It looks like there needs to be a manifest file for each exe, ie. joyosc.exe.manifest and lsjs.exe.manifest

thanks,

I checked those links and came up with the attached manifests. I still cannot bypass the antivirus.

The situation is as follows:

• open msys2 witih mingw64 to where joyosc package lives (with all .exe, .dll, .exe.manifest,etc)
• run ./joyosc.exe (or ./joyosc.exe --help)
• antivirus shows up and allows me to make "an exception for this file"
• joyosc closes as soon as I click "allow" on the antivirus thing.

I must have done something wrong when packaging... I used a a dependency walker as you suggested but there must be something missing. Here's the link if helpful.
