Hi, guys,

I have a toolbar based on Add-in express, I installed on Windows XP, it works fine, while install to Vista, some times it don't even appear, unless you use "run as administrator" to install it. is there a way we can bypass that? since a lot of end users they don't know how to install as administrator.

Also in Vista, if I install the toolbar, it show me the following errors during the installation: but in XP, it installed without any issue.

Hi Jason,

If you work with VS 2008, then open your .vdproj in a text editor and set "RequiresElevation" to true:

"RequiresElevation" = "11:TRUE"

If you use VS 2005, we suggest zipping your installer and providing a readme file in the archive.
