DisableUpdatesContainer requires elevation on Vista 
Category: Problem 
Applies to: Kivati Studio 

On Windows Vista (or later) with User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you cannot use the DisableUpdatesContainer without elevating the running project.

Details

This problem occurs when you try to run a project containing an instance of the DisableUpdatesContainer on Windows Vista (or later) with UAC enabled.  Because the procedure performed by this container requires administrator rights, you must elevate the running project or you will receive a runtime error.  To elevate the project:

  1. Open the compiled project folder in Windows explorer.
  2. Right click the project's .exe file and select "Run as Administrator".
  3. Provide administrator credentials (if necessary) and accept any UAC prompts.

More Information

Running a project elevated under a UAC-enabled operating system is not supported from within the Kivati Studio environment.  This will be addressed in a future version.
