.net - Application thinks it's running with requireAdministrator -
i have application has manifest tells run "asinvoker". when install on machine or 1 of several other vms have available, program runs normally.
because ask, app signed.
but 1 clients installs same program , desktop icon gets uac shield on , when double-click icon prompts administrator access if program manifest had set "requireadministrator".
we checked , both system , mine have uac set same level (default), including local security policy settings. none of systems have tried give icon uac shield or require admin confirmation before launching.
i've had them uninstall , make sure install folder got deleted (i suspected manifest file hanging around) , didn't help. checked shortcut , executable properties , neither 1 have "run administrator" checkbox set.
there's local security policy "detect application installations , prompt elevation". tried disabling that, uninstalled , reinstalled application , no change.
the client running windows 7. tried on windows 7, 2008 r2 , 2012 r2. had product manager try on windows 7 , 2008 r2 machines. works on of our systems without prompting admin rights prompts admin rights client.
we cannot figure out why program requiring admin rights him , not else. shouldn't be. there else cause might missing?
update client had tried uninstalling , reinstalling multiple times no change. had him uninstall , reinstall , override default install location. time worked expected. turns out previous version of program did have "requireadministrator" , it's windows how keeping track of fact , refusing forget it, treating new version same though should run "asinvoker" now.
