Unable to update on Windows Server 2016

[jonaharagon]

I get this error when installing or updating without running the program as an admin:

Manually downloading the latest release and installing as an Administrator works fine, but obviously, automatic updates don't work, and I seem to get those daily. The installer should ask for Administrator permissions via UAC if that's required.

I'm running Windows Server 2016 1607. Log attached below.

Could this be because it was installed with elevated permissions initially? It should be installed as regular user.

Same issue on a fresh install. It needed admin permissions.
