I've tried installing rainmeter, and this pops up (I already know it's supposed to) what pass or username do I need to use?

Re: Can't Install
Just right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator".
They should really do something about this. Almost any other application triggers the User Account Control automatically when installing.

Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!

Re: Can't Install
Do you have UAC enabled?
Trust me, we've tried but failed to reproduce this issue in the past.MerlinTheRed wrote:They should really do something about this. Almost any other application triggers the User Account Control automatically when installing.

Re: Can't Install
I do, and every other application I install pops up the UAC dialog. Rainmeter only does when I explicitly "Run as Administrator". (Win7 64bit here)

Ah, good that you have the issue Prior attempts to debug the issue have failed with the user disappearing, but that shouldn't be an issue with you.MerlinTheRed wrote:I do, and every other application I install pops up the UAC dialog.

I'll write some tests and post them here later on (if you're willing to help, that is). Hopefully we'll be able to sort it out.
