stephen.l Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 When I launch SR_Runtime from an admin user account, the UAC popup appears, and it lauches and runs with elevated permissions without any problem. Similarly, if I'm logged in as a normal user and run SR_Runtime as an administrator, everything seems to work fine. However, if I run it as a normal user by just double clicking the shortcut/executable normally, there is no UAC popup, and no outward sign that anything has gone wrong (the tray icon even has the orange eyes), but any attempt to initialise the eye tracking seems to return INITIAL_FAILED. Is there any way to launch the runtime without requiring admin privileges? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen.l Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Thanks for confirming that.Should it not prompt for admin privileges when running as a normal user then? At the moment, it just silently fails. ( - tag added by moderators) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel_Y Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Need Admin privilege to launch SR_Runtime. Next version will prompt message to user if they do not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a fatal design flaw in your software. How can anyone in 2019 think that it acceptable for software to require Windows 95-style full access to start? We are operating in an enterprise environment and giving users these permissions is completely inacceptable. If the software needs to do "certain system configurations", the configuration part should be separated from the end user runtime such that only privileged opertions need elevation. Please fix that asap! Thanks, Christoph @Daniel_Y @zzy @Corvus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think my account had admin privelages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
