Fonger Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 is there a way to set it so i dont always have to right click and run as admin? like so it always runs as admin?didn't you say this is for a programming class the instructor is teaching you the joys of UAC and the first easy way to bypass UAC is to install everything outside of programs some programs smack you anyways --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gird3r Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) so im trying to install a program called NetBeans for my Programming class, i start to install and it says i do not have permission to install it and that i need to run as administrator or ask my system administrator. but i am an administrator. i look in my control panel and my account (the only account) is set as Administrator. is there something im missing? please help, as i need to have this program installed!! thanks That my friend, is caused by the Copy-cat solution called UAC.UAC is just the "dumbed" down format of using Sudo in an Linux terminal....(Sudo is way superior to Windows shitty UAC anyways hands down.) And is also one of Microsoft's answers to Multi-user enviroments. UAC's intention is good. Just an shame Microsoft behind it managed to take what could have been an decent idea for once and f*** it up completly in true Microsoft(s***) style. Both in how it informs users and in the code itself. TL;DR just Rightclick the installation file and choose "Run as administrator". Oh and why UAC is inferior to sudo? Peforms no password check. Trojans rejoice at Microshit's latest attempt at trying to be the king of security.... Edited October 17, 2011 by gird3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
