RequireAdmin property


Determines if admin privileges are required.

Type

A Boolean value

Syntax

  • Basic
object.RequireAdmin [= value]
The RequireAdmin(object,value) syntax has these parts:
objectAn expression evaluating to an object of type wodAppUpdate.
valueA Boolean value.

Remarks

If this property is set to True, wodAppUpdate will try to obtain administrative privileges before it tries to replace files. Typically, Windows XP users already run as administrators so no special work will be needed. On Windows Vista, however, user may get prompt that application will request administrative privileges, and Updater app will run with such privileges.

Still, when your application is run again after the update, it will run in context of original user.
