Subject: Problem Installing Original M.A.X. Disc
So, I've never had this issue in the past. I tried installing M.A.X. tonight as I've recently formatted, M.A.X. Reloaded installed just fine, but when I tried to run the reinstaller.exe to load my M.A.X. disc content from my purchased copy of M.A.X. I got a zillion errors. I've done this a million times and I'm almost positive I've done everything right. I couldn't catch the command prompt before it errors out and closes but this is the jist of the errors I keep getting:

Well, I figured it out. For anyone who may have this issue, make sure your right click reinstaller.exe and click on "run as administrator." Ugh, I feel so stupid now.

Well, it would be good, if the resinstaller asks for administrator rights, like other win installers do. I'll make a ticket for that.

Thanks for the hint Smiling

That sounds like a good idea. The whole reason I didn't think to check that initially was usually in the past I've always disabled Windows Defender and the nag features on Windows after formatting. But my last format was due to security issues so I ended up leaving them turned on this time so it threw me off for a while there, heh.

We could just rename it "res_installer.exe". Windows automatically requests admin rights when executing files that have "setup" or "installer" in its name (you can try this by creating an test file, add some content and rename it "setup.exe"; you will not be able to start it of course but you will see the little shield on the icon).

creepy. so I have to rename this to evil_virus_installer.exe and 7 does the job for me to ask the user for privilege escalation?

I wonder that nobody tried this before No comment

Why do you ask me? The common user out there clicks happily on the "Yes" "Forward" "Just do it, damn it" buttons once they show up. Some do that even faster than Lucky Luke can draw! I've seen that myself. You're bugged with the damn popups at every corner. So it became common sense to a.) work as admin anyway or b.) click OK asap to proceed. It's even worse for WoW players. They have to agree to a whole bunch of messy EULAs after every patchday - sometimes once a week - to enter their realms Laughing

Don't believe me? Watch a normal guy working with windows and tell him to install XYZ.
