Admin rights required

Hello all,

My installation copies files to the ProgramFiles folder and writes to the HKCU registry. I have the Installation Type set to "Per-machine only (fails if user is not administrator)". I also have the "Run as administrator" option selected. However, even if I'm logged in as Administrator the setup displays the "You do not have enough rights..." error message. It only works if I right-click on the .exe and select Run as administrator. Is this normal? Most of my users will not know to right-click on the file and I don't want it to be work like that. What am I missing? Suggestions?

Thank you.

Hello,

Could you send us the .AIP (project) and a verbose log of the installation to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate them. Also a screenshot with the encountered error would be very useful.

Best regards,
