Livecod app and Windows 8

Post by carelvos » Thu Oct 29, 2015 12:20 pm

I have an app that writes to the registry and creates an .ini file in the Windows folder.

For it to work, I have to run the app as administrator on Windows 8. Surely there must be a way to do it without running as administrator - when I install any other program I'm not required to every time go and run it as admin.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Carel

In the Windows pane of the standalone settings there is a place to choose the security level your app will run under. Try selecting the highest level.
