TrIDNet and UAC
« on: July 29, 2016, 01:58:39 PM »
Hi,

Would it be possible to modify TriDNet so that it writes the TrIDDefList.TRS file in the Application Data folder instead of the current folder?

The reasoning behind this is when placing tridnet in Program Files, on windows 10 (and maybe 8, haven't tested) it doesn't have write access to its folder and it doesn't trigger the User Account Control, so it fails.
Another simpler (but imho ugly) solution would be to modify tridnet's manifest to set requestedExecutionLevel as requireAdministrator.

Thanks.

Hi!
Yes, it's among the planned features for a next version.
In the mean time, the simplest thing is probably to install it in a folder outside "Program Files", like "\TrID".

Bye!
