That's all in how the zip was configured (and what program was used) when it was created.
Two common issues with self-extracting Zips are the one you are mentioning, where it asks for admin privileges to run it and the other where it tells you that it may not be installed correctly. I think it also depends on what directory structure you are attempting to extract to/from. This issue popped up starting in Windows Vista (I think) when UAC (User Access Control) was implemented as a new security feature in the OS. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter Hunkeler Sent: Monday, May 01, 2017 5:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: SHARE Proceedings self-extacting ZIP File reguesting Admin rights?? It's the first time I was downloading the proceedings as "self-exctracting ZIP file". Can anyone explain why on earth this is asking for admin rights on Windows? -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN E-MAIL CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail from Donegal Insurance Group may contain CONFIDENTIAL and legally protected information.
