Hey all,
I've just installed the latest build, and it works great. I've found a
couple of issues:
- Guessed wrong color scheme (I'm running Windows Classic but got Blue -
more on this later)
- Uninstall does not remove theme files - it should, right, since these are
no longer user-edited?
- Should "None" be named "Classic" to map better to the Windows names?
- Installer doesn't complain if I'm not an admin, but fails to write the
required registry keys for DQSD (CLSID\{22...}\...)
The first and last problems are related to the fact that I'm running as
non-admin on my desktop.
My first attempt was to run the installer as administrator, to make sure it
had the privilege to modify the registry, write to program files, etc.
Then, of course, it picked the wrong color scheme, since it reads from HKCR,
and my admin user has the blue theme, but I'm running Windows Classic. If
we're to detect the Windows scheme in the installer this can't be solved,
and I think it's a minor issue, I was just surprised when I found it.
Switching to "None" manually worked fine (for some reason - I don't have
write access in my Program Files directory, that I know of).
The only possible fix, that I can see, would be to defer the theme detection
until the toolbar starts up, but I don't think it's worth the extra
complexity and work to fix it - not that many people run as non-admin yet.
Now, more importantly - I tried to run the installer as my restricted user
to see if it would pick the right theme, and it ran through without
complaints, but then the "Add Quick Search..." option never showed up on my
menu, since my user was not able to write to the registry.
Can we check whether the launching user is a local admin in the NSI script?
I don't know how that works, but I can look into it.
Cheers,
Kim
