I managed to find the real cause behind this problem... it was due to UAC was disabled. So once I enabled back UAC everything is going good 👍 and it runs without any problems.

Consider to add a note if this happens to others so they at least know that it was just UAC disabled and needs to be enabled for it to function.

I am not sure if that was the cause, I tested with UAC turned off on my system and everything works..

  1. Does the error return if you turn off UAC?

  2. By UAC you mean User Account Control right?

1- Yes

2- Yes

Your way doesn't disable the UAC completely... In order to disable UAC completely (UAC driver doesn't load) you must do this...

Open the Windows Control Panel.

Click Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options.

Double-click User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode and select disable. Changing this setting requires a system restart.

After doing that Lively beta will have problems opening up.

Ah I see.. so what is happening is you are disabling limited user account so everything runs as admin. Windows App SDK does not support running as admin yet: unknown

Exactly, thank you for your reply and time.... really appreciate it. I didn't even know that it was a limitation from the SDK itself... so thank you for pointing that out.
