v2020.01.12.1 won't start and reports an admin rights error

[jweaver]

I have just removed my version of Hybrid to re-install it on another drive.. And decided to get the latest version (2020.01.12.1).

When I run it (Windows 7) it says:

"Closing Hybrid, since its running with administrator rights!"

What does this mean? I know its running with admin rights as my PC only has an Admin user.. But in over 30 prior versions of Hybrid I have never seen this.

Is this intentional behavour? Have I missed something? or is this a bug?

It's intentional, it changed '2018.10.07.1', searching the forum for 'runAsAdmin' should how to run Hybrid with admin rights, but be aware that it's not designed to run with admin rights and as such I don't recommend it and it might have unintended consequences.

Ps.: you might also want to check the changelog in case something else changed,... (http://www.selur.de/changelog)

Thanks Selur... I had no idea, sorry I missed this.

I was going to say you were wrong as I had been using a 'dev' version that you gave me to fix a fault... But when I looked back at my saved installers that was June 2018.. Where has that 1.5 years gone???

I will have a search of the forum.. If I can, I will do this properly.. But I can't change how I use my PC, as I made it "admin only" when I built it, so I might have to go back to my old "dev" version which served me well .

Cheers
