| Post subject: | Removing the administrator requirement from applications |
| I was trying to find a way to remove the administrator requirement from an application, but I couldn't figure out how. There was nothing online about, but after some help from blueclouds8666, I was able to figure it out. Note: This might not work on every application. There are different ways of asking for administrator, and some applications may just need administrator permissions. Note 2: Ensure that this is unchecked before trying this. It could just be that simple. 1: Open the application up in a hex editor. I use HXD, but if you want something open source wxHexEditor works as well. 2: Search for "requestedExecutionLevel", you should see something similar to "<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator">" 3: Replace "requireAdministrator" with "asInvoker" 4: Replace the extra space with .'s, or 0's if you use the hex field. It should look like this if you did it right. 5: Save the application and test it. If it runs, the application works and can be used without administrator permissions. Some reasons why you might want to do this are 1: The program is a bit sketch, and you don't like it having administrator permissions. 2: You use a limited account, and don't want to type your password in every time. 3: You know it doesn't need administrator permissions and want to avoid the UAC prompt without disabling UAC. |
