Program only runs as an Admin or using RunAs

[luke77]

I have a program that worked fine using XP Pro under both a limited

user acct. and an admin.

I am now using Home Edition, and the program only works if I open

the .asm files using RunAs.

When I asked the author about it, he said that "The program needs disk access."

It seems kind of silly going to an Admin and then going back to a L.U. acct.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Andy

Try wrapping it in a winrar archive that elevates itself?

when making a winrar sfx go into the advaced options and find this section:

So in steps:

Right click on file

select add to archive

select create a sfx archive

goto advanced tab

click sfx options

in the general tab put the name of the prog + ext

goto advanced tab and click request administrative access

then under modes tab click unpack to temprary file and hide all

then the update tab click on overwrite all files

click ok 2x and viola you have it wrapped.

Try that.

I found WinRar to be payware and I am un-employed.

winrar has a 40 day free trial and the archive would not be limited...
