Disable UAC #79

Closed dasfreak closed 8 years ago

dasfreak commented 8 years ago

Hey,

how about adding this line to the bootstrap.bat to disable User Account Control (UAC) on Windows 7+?

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Well, it's not necessarily required, so should we? :-)

dasfreak commented 8 years ago

You are right, it is not necessarily required.

But I was thinking about the case described here: https://github.com/cuckoosandbox/cuckoo/issues/1028

where is32bit.exe fails if the user is not admin or UAC is enabled.

But anyone can disable UAC manually if he likes to :-)

jbremer commented 8 years ago

Yeah, but that error doesn't occur with VMs created through VMCloak ;-)
