I installed my Clarion IDE to “Program Files (x86)” as it seems logical - but when starting it keeps popping up a UAC prompt and run as Administrator - this is pretty annoying as processes started from Clarion also run as Administrator which I don’t want.
What do I need to change to make Clarion run as ME instead? Other programs in “Program Files (x86)” don’t exhibit this behaviour
The solution is to not install the IDE under Program Files. There are things that require write access (such as the template registry), and that’s not appropriate for apps installed under Program Files.
I am pretty sure the latest installs default to C:\ClarionXX.
Be careful, I accidently installed clarion as administrator one time and it caused me a lot of problems due to the ownership of generated files also being admin.
AFAIK, that just disables the elevation prompt, but does not give write access to folders/files under Program Files (x86). If you’re able to register templates this way, without using an Admin token, I guess that proves that theory wrong.
Seems a lot safer to avoid a solution like this and just install under C:\
