1 month ago Do you have UAC disabled in Windows? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/application-security/application-control/user-account-control/
If so, Windows treats any app as running as administrator, which would explain why you are getting this error message.

Describe the bug
First time installing smartCARS3, downloaded from TFDI website. Upon starting the program, I am thrown the error "smartCARS3 cannot be ran as an administrator and will now close." I have confirmed that the program's compatibility properties DID NOT have the "Run this program as an administrator" checked in the \AppData\Local\TFDi Design\smartCARS directory provided in the screenshot below.
I have also ran the updater in the \AppData\Local\TFDi Design\smartCARS directory and used the .exe file that was downloaded to update to the latest version. I have ran the file to Modify the program to no success and I have ran the file to Repair the program, also yielding no success. The updater .exe in the \AppData\Local\TFDi Design\smartCARS directory shows I have the latest smartCARS3 version.
Also attached are my logs from \AppData\Local\TFDi Design\smartCARS\resources\app\logs combined-audit.json error-2024-07-21.log error-audit.json combined-2024-07-21.log
as well as my updater.ini as a txt file updater.txt
How do you reproduce this bug?
Expected behavior
I should be led to a screen to begin my login process.
