I suppose that you use "runas" in order to get run in real administrator
mode.
There are several ways to get an installer run automatically in real
admin mode :
#1 : the name of the .exe must contain "setup" or "install" keyword.
This make the UAC detect it as an installer and asks the user for a
elevation confirmation.
#2 : the .exe must have a manifest that contains :
"""
... (I use the "python.exe.manifest" in which I add the following)
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel
level="requireAdministrator"
uiAccess="false"/>
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
"""
I've put the manifest directly in the .exe using py2exe and :
'other_resources': [(24, 1, mymanifest)],
"24" is where the manifest should be.
#3 Maybe someone could complete here ...?
Hope this helps.
Mark Hammond a écrit :
I encounter a problem when trying to install it. I get prompted by a
secure window (a window with some keys icons) asking me if I want to
run
it with my account with(out) security against virus or with another
account.
None of the 3 possibilities works for me. Any idea ?
When you say none of the possibilities work, how exactly do they fail?
I'm sure I could extend the OS check to only attempt elevation on XP with
SP1, but it would be nice to have a better understanding of the failure
before doing that (eg, while testing this, I found Win2k also seems to
support the 'runas' ShellExecute API - but it behaves slightly differently,
and IsUserAnAdmin() isn't available. So if it (basically) works on Win2k,
I'd be surprised it fails worse on XP without SP1.
Cheers,
Mark
