Don't run as admin?

[mitch4270]

On Installation I get the don't run as admin message. I'm the only account on my PC so have no choice unless I make another user account with normal user rights. It's the first time I've seen this message and I've been using ckan for a while just not updated versions. I've tried using the asroot command but it did nothing either. Will this feature be staying or going as its a pain.

'asroot' isn't a command, it's an arg, dude. for ckan.exe

as in '--asroot'

for ex, via cmd.exe:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\path\to\ckan>ckan.exe --asroot
Warning: CKAN is running as an administrator user!

and then it runs no probs.

or create a shortcut to ckan.exe, and in the shortcut properties>Shortcut tab, Target: text box just append " --asroot"

then its just a double click and no need to fiddle with cd'ing in a cmd every time

I think @JonnyOThan's usual advice is "Turn on UAC", the instructions for which may be found with a web search.
