More Vista / RequestExecutionLevel pitfalls
I just noticed that using RequestExecutionLevel admin has the unexpected (for me, anyway) side-effect of not just changing the *privileges* of the installer BUT also of changing the *user*!
![]() Specifically, I note from both observation and from the installer's own details window that the selected per-user folders and desktop are NOT those of the logged-in user, but those of the admin user going with the password Vista demanded. This is with using $SMPROGRAMS, $DESKTOP, and leaving SetShellVarContext defaulted to [presumably] current. The installer is NSIS 2.34, created on XP SP2, and installed on Vista RTM. I am going to now try "RequestExecutionLevel user", but based on other comments here, I expect other troubles (like issues with $PROGRAMFILES?). |
