Vista UAC_Workaround

[NewsArchive]

Friedrich,

I downloaded and compiled your UAC_Workaround script from your 6-8-07 post.
It would not create the key on my Vista test machine. I also downloaded
your demo setup exe and had the same issue.

You really should *not* use any UAC workaround! This demo was for people
who were unable to make the switch to a UAC-aware program in a timely manner
(that was in early 2007). The UAC_Workaround script was a life-saver for
quite a few developers. IIRC, all those developers have a UAC-aware
application today.

We are in 2009 and Windows 7 is already reality -- so we have four UAC-aware
operating systems now: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and
Windows Server 2008 R2 aka Server 7. Don't rely on any UAC-workaround!
