View Full Version : Setupbuilder - install as admin

We run our applications on Windows XP. We have some fonts that need to
be installed and registered in Windows. When we put out updates, the
users are logged in with limited rights. Is there any way in
setupbuilder to allow the registering of the fonts with admin rights
when the user is logged in without admin rights?

Most everything that I can find is related to Vista or Windows 7.

Thanks for the help.

Windows does not allow it. You need admin rights to register fonts.
Because XP does not allow over-the-shoulder elevation (like Vista# does),
you have to login to the Admin account to install and register fonts.
