[SOLVED] Install programs without admin rights, bypass UAC with RunAsInvoker problem

[aloefgren]

Hi all!

I hope someone could help me out on this one.

I have a software that I'm trying to install without admin rights, using the method RunAsInvoker creating a .bat file containing:

cmd /min /C "set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER && start "" %1"

After dragging the setup file to this .bat file I've successfully installed some software. One of them is running into a problem though, when the setup hits the registry and it needs admin rights again.

PokerStars.SE is the installation file I have troubles with.

Is there any way around this for setup files that hits the registry? I have added the installation log below if it could help.

Thank you!

Best regards, Anton

If the application requires Admin rights, then that is what it needs.
If you do not have Admin rights or the password, then you cannot install it.

Ask the person that does control this system.
