LPub3D 2.0 Released

[Trevor Sandy]

Based on what David wrote, I think you misunderstood. Try this on your home computer:

• Totally uninstall LPub3D
  
• Create a limited user account (one that doesn't have admin rights; note that I think this is recommended by Microsoft for all everyday user accounts now*).
  
• Log into the limited user account.
  
• Install LPub3D. When prompted, select an admin account and enter that account's password.
  
• Try to run LPub3D.
  

Now, I haven't done the above, but based on what David reported, I'm pretty sure LPub3D will fail to run. That's what he meant when he asked if LPub3D requires the user to be an admin in order to run it. I suspect that right now it does, and that this wasn't done intentionally.

* Here is a quote from Microsoft from the Vista timeframe:

The recommended, more secure method of running Windows Vista to make your primary user account a standard user account.

I don't know if they have since changed their mind about the above or not, but I have definitely run into programs that didn't run in "standard user" accounts.

Ok - Thanks Travis. Ary your directing your instructions above to me or David? If me, are you suggesting that LPub3D might inadvertently require admin rights to run and I should look at changing this ?

Cheers,

I setup and executed this test as Travis described and LPub3D installed and ran successfully. However, as David pointed out, the data directory was created under the Administrator profile - and not the logged in user's profile as would be expected.

So at this time, I conclude that LPub3D does not require the user to be an Administrator to run. 

I will look into why the installer program follows the Administrator profile and not the logged in user to setup the data directory during installation. If I understand correctly, I think this is the issue David is trying to solve?

Cheers,
