Running VB6 app setup program on Vista
Hi,
I'm just learning the in & outs of Vista UAC. My vb6 app is packaged using Inno setup into a setup.exe.
I've been searching these forums for all the DOs & DONTs of installing a VB6 app on Vista with UAC.
One of the issus is running setup program.
I keep reading about the need to tell my users to Right-Click setup.exe and select "Run as administrator" in order to install the program correctly.
So I did a little test:
* First: Install for standard user account (no admin privilages)
I found that Double-Clicking the setup.exe and Right-Clicking -> "Run as administrator" yelded the same results: UAC asking for admin password. After entering the password the setup program installs.
* Second: Install for administrator account
I found that Double-Clicking the setup.exe and Right-Clicking -> "Run as administrator" yelded the same results: UAC asking Allow or Deny. After entering the password the setup program installs.
So a "normal" double-clicking setup.exe seems to produce the same dialogs as Right-Clicking -> Selecting "Run as administrator"
If that's the case, why would I tell my users to right-click and run the setup as administrator? Why can't they just double-click as they always did?
