Member Fabio Dona Posted August 8, 2009 Member Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Andrew posted this on twitter: "I made other approach to solve UAC problem - if 3DC is not run as admin by some reason, 3D-Coat will work but show warning at the start." I don't know if I'm missing something, but a program only needs admin privileges to make changes in the system. A normal application doesn't need to be run as administrator. The right thing to do is to make a program run for all users. Unless it's a application that really needs to make changes in system folders. Just make 3d-coat run correctly with a non-administrative user account and the "problem" is solved... In fact I'm using it as non admin just fine. I just had it installed outside any system folders(outside "program files") Also it's a good idea to install shortcuts for all users.

Javis Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Unfortunately on Vista, I am unable to create brushes, masks and materials without running in 3DC in admin mode ATM.The real problem IMHO is vista. It's a piece of trash. I have the same problem with other applications if I don't run them in admin mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a piece of trash. I have the same problem with other applications if I don't run them in admin mode. This is weird, really. I'm using Windows 7. I don't have any problems running any applications as standard user. I noticed though, if I try to install 3d-coat to the default location inside "Program Files", then I need to run as administrator. Otherwise undo does not work. When I install to other place, say, C:\3dcoat, then any user has access to that folder ("Program Files" is a system folder) and 3d coat works. Because of this, I think the problem is because 3d-coat is trying to access something that requires administrative rights, that's why I think it's not a problem with windows. I can be wrong.. I haven't tested it on Vista... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I'm sure it will run correct on Win7, that is why I am so looking forward get receiving my copy. I think it is just a Vista problem, honestly. I really do. I don't have this problem in XP or Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
