Kith and Kin Pro on Windows 7
Hello All,
I'm now running Windows 7 and each time I click on K&K I am asked if I want to all the programme to make changes to the PC. Something to do, I suspect with UAC? Not a total show stopper - more of an irritant really.
If I open say, PAF I don't get this and the programme immediately starts.
My question therefore is: what do I do to enable K&K to do this?
Regards
Peter

Hi,
Kith and Kin Pro V3 is fully compatible with Vista and Win7 and shouldn't create this kind of message, even with UAC turned on. It is possible that your Windows user profile does not have sufficient privileges to modify the registry for example, but at the default settings I would doubt it.
Does the message specify what kind of change it is trying to make?

Hello Nick,
It is the UAC warning message.
It reads:
"Do you want to allow the following programme from an unknown publisher to make changes to your computer?"
It then lists KithKinP.exe as the Programme name
Publisher unknown and
the File origin as Hard drive on this computer.
If I click the 'Yes' button, the programme loads and if I select 'No', the message disappears.
As I said earlier, it's not a showstopper, merely a nuisance.
Any ideas
Regards
Peter

Hi,
If you still get that message with administrator privileges then something is wrong - you can't elevate permissions any higher than administrator.
I've never heard of K&KPro3 generating this message, even if you are logged in as a user (as opposed to an administrator). K&KPro3 has a .manifest file in the "Program files\Kith and Kin Pro 3" folder which grants the required privileges.
I think that there may be something wrong with your security (UAC) settings but I'm not sure what.

Hello Nick.
I've downloaded K&K from the Spansoft website, removed the original programme from the PC and installed (and registered) the downloaded programme.
Unfortunately the same result - the UAC still opens and asks if I want to make changed to the computer!
I wonder if any of the readers has an idea?
Regards
Peter

Thanks for the information, SundayForever (what a good name!),
Below is a copy of my 'KithKinP.manifest' file, should it be amended and if so, how?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" />
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>
