vssetup Confused With Installer

When running Privateer Gemini Gold 1.03 on Windows (Vista), it thinks the vssetup program is an installer, so wants me to elevate to admin with user account control. When it closed, it gives me the "It doesn't look like this program installed correctly" box. It doesn't do this with the 0.5.1 release.

just used the one from 0.5.1 then

I think the real issue is more of when the setup program was compiled. Or maybe just how it was compiled.. either way I don't think the program itself changed at all from 0.5 to 0.5.1

It is very simply that the app is named setup both Vista and Win 7 assume that it is an installer as every other Windows based app is I think this because of MS's version of app armor.

Enjoy the Choice :)

Renaming it doesn't help.

No it doesn't it needs to be recompiled and the name changed at that step as the original is still part of the binary exe running it as admin is the only thing that works ATM just ignore the "It doesn't look like this program installed correctly" box


Enjoy the Choice :)
