`--user-access-control auto` doesn't work for me...
With Python 2.7.8 installed ''for all'' in "C:/Program Files (x86)/Python27", an installer built with `bdist_wininst --user-access-control auto` will *not* ask for permission elevation and will crash as described above. If I build the installer with `bdist_wininst --user-access-control force` it will ask for permission elevation and the install will proceed normally.
Same behavior for the amd64 version of 2.7.8 installed in "C:/Program Files/Python27".
However, one way or the other I think it would be annoying to ask for permission elevation when it's not actually needed, like when python is installed in the default "C:/Python27" location for example.
So I think a better fix would be to simply *not crash* and fail saying elevated permissions are required. The user can then simply do a "Run as administrator" on the installer from the Windows explorer and things work as expected. |
