windows 7 - Avoid UAC prompt in Qt 5.1 lupdate -
i using qt 5.1.0 bundled mingw 4.8 (32 bit) on win7 64.
i want run lupdate.exe
create , update translation files. however, every run of lupdate demands administrator access rights , windows uac prompt need accept. annoying. issue arises @ lupdate. lrelease other qt tools run expected.
not sure whether relevant: lupdate.exe installed in default path, c:\qt\5.1.0\mingw48_32\bin\lupdate.exe.
i not see reason why lupdate needs admin rights , not case in former versions. so, why installation prompt them? how can avoid it?
this because windows checks file name , assumes containing "update", "install", or "uninstall" in file name installer, , requires administrative privileges run, regardless of whether has manifest or not. done old legacy installers created before uac existed continue work.
rename "lupdate.exe" doesn't contain "update", , uac prompts stop.
