Is there an existing issue for this?

  • [X] I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Installer requires administrator privileges to use despite application not needing them.

Expected Behavior

It works when using set __COMPAT_LAYER=RunAsInvoker in a batch file and then running the installer. This means that the installer does not need to require administrator privileges to install. I would expect it to install without needing administrator permissions.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Run the setup file.

Environment

- OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Education 10.0.19043 Build 19043
- AntiMicroX version: 3.2.1

Anything else?

Basically just make it able to be installed without admininstrator and without needing workarounds like set __COMPAT_LAYER=RunAsInvoker

Hi @ayunami2000 thanks for report and possible solution,
Bot to be honest, I don't know how to apply change you suggested.
But any PR tackling this will be welcome

Perhaps also provide a .zip version? "Portable"

Portable version on windows does run without administrator approval required.

I think @koga-ninja is right, this issue can be closed. :)
