Yes I tried that too - I renamed it to JBCL1.exe and it still triggered the UAC prompt.
If Vista is being smart it may be actually checking what the program does - as it copies .exe files from one folder to another that could trigger UAC? (That is all it does - its a program to make sure latest versions are in a working folder). But - does Vista actually examine a programs contents or functionality? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert martin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List" <delphi@delphi.org.nz> Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 2:36 PM Subject: Re: [DUG] D2007 under VIsta Hi Have you tried renaming the exe with the problem (i.e. to something without startup in its name)? The other thing might be that the app is doing something that requires UAC? I think there is a xml resource you can build into an app to force the UAC stuff to trigger (although I doubt you would have done this :) ) Rob John Bird wrote: > No there is no blanks in the execute path, and the 3 programs I talked > about all run from the same folder.
