Run program as original user

Post by tofutim »

There is probably no way to do this, but when running the program and launching a webpage at the end of the installation (requiring elevation), the program ends up being run as Administrator as is the webpage. I need it to be the current user. If there is a way to do this, I'd love to know it.

Update. I just discovered "Run Program As".

I was able to use Run Program As... to run my $APP$ with the original user. (Thanks InstallAware!)

This doesn't seem to work for a webpage though. Do I need to launch iexplore instead?

Dear Tofutim,

It should work either with RUN PROGRAM AS ... are you sure the user has enough privileges to use the browser?

Can you reach that web page manually under that user context?
