Unable to update Springlobby

[Sgt Doom]

When trying to update it from 0.34 to 0.35, I get this error message:


Running Windows Vista SP1. I had this error message before, so I uninstalled it from my D drive and put it on C (didn't really plan that, just forgot to select the other drive during installation). It worked on the first update, but then I got the error message you see before you.

do you have uac disabled as well?

Yes, I do. One sec, i'll try with UAC on.

EDIT: It works with UAC on. Seems i'll have to keep it on for updating Springlobby :/

Springlobby's update system has never worked well unless you're running XP. Just download the new release from Springlobby.info.

You won't. Now that I know of this yet-another-uac-retardedness I can fix it in 0.36.

i get this same error on WinXP. happens first in 0.33 or somewhere around there.

That is because msdn told me some time ago that the runas verb for shellexecute could be used on all NTs. Yesterday I only thought it failed on pre vista, so I introduced a switch in 0.35 that just uses open on those OS. This morning I get to see that runas also fails if uac is disabled.

Yeah, I'm just a teeny bit pissed with these awesome constructs MS puts up.
