Run as Administrator

Hi, My users always having this problem after I compile my .exe with advanced installer. If they didnt right click on the .exe and click "Run as Administrator" the software will not run properly.. How to set it to always run as administrator or remove the restriction?

Thanks
Bogdan

Re: Run as Administrator

You cannot remove the restriction, this is from the OS. To set the package to always run as administrator there is a checkbox available in Install Parameters page.

For older versions of Advanced Installer the equivalent of this option is found in Media page, Bootstrapper tab. Just set the execution level combo to "Require administrator".
