By choosing not to take advantage of UAC you are making your life difficult. The benefit of UAC is that you can be logged in as an admin (with the convenience that provides when it comes to installation) without exposing you to the risks of malware.


I get notification where I need to approve an action by adding my admin password. It isn't a problem or "difficult".

Apparently, this operation doesn't trigger that process, or I would have understood what was occuring. I don't accept that as a solution that I can propose to my users.

However, I will be making sure there is a valid path specified. There are too many variables, otherwise.

It can be a problem when installing an application, because it will get installed for your admin account and not for your normal user account. Unless it's one of the few which gives you the choice of installing for 'all users', you can find that it won't run properly because some of the files needed by the application (typically those stored in %appdata%) aren't accessible.

Only a program with an appropriate manifest (requestedExecutionLevel = "highestAvailable" rather than the usual "asInvoker") will trigger the prompt.
