Looks like after installing LyX as admin and then checking the box on the
finish page to run LyX, runs it as admin too.
I didn't put much thought into it when writing Installer2, I thought about
it just a little. Because I found a comment in the code, which says that
there was a bug report about this already and it has apparently been fixed
already, so I didn't worry about it. But it's still not fixed.
I have found that there is no easy way to run a process as a user from the
NSIS installer, only the "hard" way, which means just using a plugin. I
have found this plugin: https://nsis.sourceforge.io/ShellExecAsUser_plug-in.
i will commit it to Installer2.
Riki, is it worth putting it into Installer as well (for stable that is)?
It would mean that you would need to install the plugin too.
