https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9050 <p> Three log regression tests create executables named "setup_....exe", but that name triggers the Windows7 UAC (User Account Control) mechanism, which darkens the entire screen and puts up this dialog: </p> <pre class="wiki">Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer? </pre><p> The programs are: </p> <ul><li>setup_settings_parser.exe </li><li>setup_formatter_parser.exe </li><li>setup_filter_parser.exe </li></ul><p> Renaming them to change "setup_..." to something else (such as "stp_..." or "ready_..." or some such) will allow them to run without altering the UAC settings on each regression-test machine. </p> <p> See also <a class="ext-link" href="http://lists.boost.org/boost-testing/2013/08/7317.php"><span class="icon">​</span>lists.boost.org/boost-testing/2013/08/7317.php</a> </p> <p> Though this seems to be based on the file's name, I don't think all the rules employed by Windows' UAC mechanism are formally documented even by Microsoft. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9050 Trac 1.4.3 Andrey Semashev Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:41:06 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9050#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9050#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> (In <a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/85477" title="Worked around compilation problem with clang.
