Admin permissions? #1

Closed My1 closed 7 years ago

My1 commented 7 years ago

why does the portable discord setup immediately trigger the UAC?

isnt portable kinda supposed to work without admin and stuff?

crazy-max commented 7 years ago

@My1, the portable wrapper discord-portable.exe does not need admin rights but maybe discord itself needs it for extra steps. I will investigate on that.

My1 commented 7 years ago

well the problem is in the setup. extracting the zip seems fine.

My1 commented 7 years ago

well keyword on seems, with extracting the zip and running it I am caught in an update loop. it pulls an update, restarts and pulls an update again always saying "update 1 of 1".

Ok thanks for your contrib i will remove the admin probe in the setup and investigate on your update issue.

crazy-max commented 7 years ago

Hum i don't have any issue extracting and using the 7z and zip package. What is the content of your data folder ?

My1 commented 7 years ago

some folders called 0.2.97, Cache and GPUCache and 4 files called Cookies, Cookies-journal, modules.log and queued_analytics_events.json
