Did you know that on Windows 2008 R2, Run as Administrator forces the current directory to %SystemRoot%\System32? If you're using relative paths they won't work when you Run as Administrator.

Hi,

Doing the batch-file trick results in the option to run as admin, but the cmd-window closes without starting the msi-file. Doing a cmd-prompt as admin and running the bbwin-msi also ends up in “ended prematurely”… I wonder if UAC is the culprit somehow.

Regards,

Interesting. I actually run the MSI from a batch file as I do other things like fetching the configuration from the server. Try creating a batch file that calls the MSI and run that as Administrator.

Hi,

Sadly that option wasnt available on the file (even shift-right-clicking the msi-file) – but I suspect that’s the culprit somehow.

Hi,

I just had bbwin 0.13 install end prematurely on a Windows 2008 R2 server (x64) – is there any known requirements to installing bbwin 0.13? Like dotnet-framework 3.5 or similar? The server has dotnet-framework 4.0 installed. Any ideas?

Carl Melgaard
