I was previously running an older version of visual cron (a 5.3 release i believe) on a 2008 SP1 server. I had several system level users, that were not administrators, that had access to run the visual cron client with view and execute premissions on the tasks.

Then I installed an update which put me on version 5.4.7. Now the users that are not local administrators get prompted by UAC to run the visual cron client with elevated privileges.

I'm not sure what changed (aside from what it says in the changelog) or why the "client" would need administrator privileges, but does anyone know if there is a way around this besides turning off UAC?

Thanks

Could be:

1. that you are using the wrong Credentials
2. perhaps you had the VisualCron service running as another user than SYSTEM before?

Henrik,

Before I ran the update the client would just open up when these users double clicked the icon. After the update it started prompting them. As for the service I have never changed it since I originally installed it and it is currently running as Local System.

Thanks.

I am having the same problem on my Workstation(Win7) and I have installed only the client.

It's not happening on the server (2008) logged in as Admin or not.

Also happening on Win7 laptop.

Please confirm if this attached version works better for you.

Henrik,

I have tested the version that you posted but I still have the same issue.

Also this specific system has been upgraded to Windows Server Standard 2008 SP2 (was SP1) since I initially posted about the problem.

Thanks,
Timothy

Ok, thanks. One more try with this installation (you may have to uninstall current first as it is the same version number).

Henrik,

The latest file that you posted resolves the problem. I can directly run the client and there are no issues. However the problem does still happen with the tray application. I do not really need the tray application in my situation but I just wanted to let you know. Thanks for you help!

Timothy

Thanks for the feedback - we will apply the same fix for the tray application for the next version.
