Hello,

I would like to know how exactly I can bypass or disable UAC for my application so that normal users can install it without having to need elevated rights to do so. Are there Windows options I could use or do I have to edit something in my program?

Hi Bob,

there is no direct/simple option.

However, it IS possible to solve the UPDATE problem (you will still need
the right to install the original application) by doing this:

- Generate the real application as a WDL file (library, windev style)
- create a small exe that will never change. That exe is just a launcher
for the wdl (loadwdl)
- in that samll exe, inlcude the update mechanism (check online,
download, etc)
- of course, the wdl file needs to be installed in fdatadir or
fuserdatadir and replaced there

Best regards
