Stand-alone version requires admin elevation on Windows Vista #275

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I don't know why, but the Windows Stand-alone version gives me a UAC pop-up 
when I launch it, saying I need administrative access to run it. I don't know 
why, and it makes no sense.

Please provide a fix for this! For what do you need administrator rights?

I found a work around that seems to work (not fully tested).  Create a shortcut 
to xulrunner.exe in the evolus\pencil\xulrunner.exe

Edit the shortcut, and put " --app ..\app\application.ini" on the end of the 
target.

It should end up something like:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Evolus\Pencil\xulrunner\xulrunner.exe" --app 
..\app\application.ini

Using this shortcut then lets you run without admin rights.

Windows 7 x32
it works

"Create a shortcut to xulrunner.exe in the evolus\pencil\xulrunner.exe

Windows 7 x64
does not work as described

A XULRunner message box comes up with "Error: couldn't parse application.ini"

Any ideas?

Ok, it was a trivial problem: 
The relative path as decribed above does not work when editing the existing 
shortcut, since this has the "...\Pencil" directory as base, so either change 
that to the xulrunner directory or change the ini file location to 
".\app\application.ini".
