Hi.
I noticed that despite having:
<requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false"/>
in setup-x86_64.exe the UAC prompt is not bypassed and when I click Cancel the
program is not started.
Previously I used the same binary to install Cygwin for "Just me" on a host
where regular users are simply not allowed to trigger a UAC prompt.
I have downloaded some other software installers and they work as intended:
cf7_installer.exe
Git-2.33.0-64-bit.exe
pgadmin4-5.6-x64.exe
The following env var also failed:
set __COMPAT_LAYER=RunAsInvoker
Then I tried to un-UPX and remove the manifest with ResHacker and I also
renamed "setup-x86_64.exe" to "putes-x86_64.exe" because I heard that UAC looks
for keyword in .exe name without a manifest, but the resulting binary still
triggers the UAC.
Reproducible on:
Windows 10 20-H2 build 19042.746
Windows 7 sp1 buld 7601
