[SOLVED] Removing elevated privileges
lazarus / 34-Windows

Hello everybody. I used Lazarus to write a quite large application on
Linux (everything good). But now, going to recompile with Windows, the
executable produces the UAC warning. I've done a lot of testing, but I
can't identify which part of my code requires elevated privileges.  Is
there a quick way to locate it?

Sometimes it is only the file name. Programs with certain words in it,
like setup and install, automatically get UAC.

Ok the problem was simple. I had the options project - run level -
require administrator ! But the strange thing is that I don't beleave
I've ever set it up   and also I have just verified that the default
for a new project is asinvoker, both in windows and in linux. I don't
understand ... however now it's ok

Probably sometime or other you went to change another option (DPI
awareness?) and changed that one by mistake. It happens when you're in
a hurry ...

I did other tests, for example, create project from linux and reopen
it from windows, change folder permissions, etc ... nothing ...I
believe it is as you say ... hurry

Sorry, but it has to be said: now I've seen it all, even a "calm_sea"
in "a hurry"
