Creating MSI packages via click/drop

[avondra]

Hello,
I'm having trouble with the new drag-and-drop feature for creating .msi packages in the private repository.
Instead of a "+", I get a "Forbidden" symbol when I drag the package, even though I'm on version 1.3.12.3.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks for your great work!

Actually, to be more precise, it's because of User Account Control (UAC), and it's precisely because it's running as administrator that drag and drop doesn't work.

Hello Simon,
I disabled UAC but it didn't change anything...
I'm also having trouble connecting to the public package server; I'm getting a certificate error. Are you experiencing any issues on your end?

The certificate issue has been resolved, however drag and drop still doesn't work despite UAC being disabled.

I just tried again:

UAC disabled (see doc) (don't forget the restart) Works perfectly.


Otherwise, go to Tools --> Create a package template from an installer --> choose an installer... it's exactly the same!

[avondra]

Everything is working perfectly now. I had to disable UAC via the registry because I couldn't do it through the Control Panel, even as an administrator. Perhaps you could add this option to the documentation, which is already very well done.

1) Open the Windows Registry Editor (regedit):
2) Go to the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
3) Change "EnableLUA" by setting its value to "0" (zero).
4) Restart the machine.

Thank you.

Hello,

indeed, disabling UAC is a bit trickier in Windows 10 than in Windows 7.

A package might do it someday, perhaps.
