In working in LC 6.7.11 under Windows 8.1 today, I discovered that the setRegistry function would not make a new key in the registry. It turned out that was because for the function to work, the application (LiveCode/IDE or a Standalone) must Run as Administrator, so restarting LiveCode 6.7.11 running with admin privs let me continue developing in the IDE.
My question to the community and any LiveCode folks on the list who may know is: Is there a way in a script to temporarily set Admin privs under Windows to then set a registry entry via SetRegistry and the unset admin privs? OR is the only way to set a registry entry is by going to Standalone Application Settings... > Windows > UAC Execution Level and setting it from "Default" to "Require Administrator" for a standalone OR running LiveCode as Admin for testing setRegistry code in the IDE? I really hope there is some trick that allows the former, rather than the latter being the only options. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
