It is weird nowadays in Windows that even you log as a user with the administrator privilege or even just as the ADMINISTRATOR, you have to click the user right escalation approval button again and again when you copy something, move something, delete something, change something, or just run something.
It seems no software would allow people to have the administrator privilege to run by default anymore in Windows. And worse, the Run As Administrator options is not available to people anymore for some file types such as the MSI, as discussed in the previous post.
Even for programmers or software developers logged in as administrator, they have to run the Visual Studio explicitly as Administrator again and again so as to get the IDE, compiler, and a lot of solutions and projects behave well enough. Otherwise, Visual Studio would behave strangely here and there, e.g. this or that could not be properly (un)registered; this or that pre/post build events could not be run; some resources could not be found or accessed; etc. And weirder is that many times your WPF projects/solutions would not compile if you don't run Visual Studio as administrator. It is weird, isn't it? But that is what it is.
Therefore, a very friendly reminder again. Please run the Visual Studio as Administrator always. It is not only needed by our .NET Addin Wizards but also a lot of regular Visual Studio and programming features.
