Protect Advanced Updater

[azvargas]

Hello. Is there a way to ask for admin credentials when the Advanced Updater is executed? This is to prevent non-admin users from running Advanced Updater.

Hello,

Normally, you would force the EXE to be run as administrator from the application code.

However, Windows offers the possibility to set the "Run as Administrator" for every EXE:
