AmaiSosu prompts for UAC elevation when started #3

Previously titled "[Request] Only prompt for UAC elevation when accessing restricted directories" until I noticed this part of readme.md:

FEATURES:

  • minimum administrative requirements
    -- they are only needed if HCE is installed a restricted location;

AmaiSosu 4.0 currently prompts for UAC elevation when started rather than only when accessing restricted directories. This appears to be because the file publisher is "unknown".

The prompt is indeed redundant when installing to non-restricted locations, but that's something only a few people do. AmaiSosu deliberately prompts for elevation, because most HCE installs are present in the restricted Program Files directory.

To circumvent the prompt, refer to the Portable Installation part of the readme:

Portable Installations

For users out there with alternative HCE installations in conformist environments, download the installer and extract it using 7-Zip or WinRAR. Then, run the extracted AmaiSosu.GUI.exe executable without admin permissions and install it to your portable HCE directory.

Note that attempting to install AmaiSosu to HCE in a restricted location (e.g. Program Files\Microsoft Games) without admin permissions will cause issues!
