Miranda Version : 0.9.38 Unicode Build : Yes Test Build # (if applicable) : Plugin Version # (if applicable) :

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Launch the Miranda IM installer under the user account 2. Enter the admin password in the UAC window 3. Leave the "Launch Miranda IM" option ticked in the last window, press "Finish" 4. The Profile Manager window will pop up, saying that it cannot find the profile

What is the expected result?

Miranda should launch normally under the user account

What happens instead?

Miranda launches under the admin account for which the password was entered. No wonder it cannot find the profile since it's looking in the admin's app data directory.

Well, the installer does so because it needs admin credentials to write to the Program Files folder. But it doesn't actually mean that it should also launch Miranda under admin account. It may be difficult to implement, and i personally don't know if an application can somehow store the regular user access token after it starts working under admin. But ideologically it is the correct way, because Miranda must be launched under the same account that launched the installer before the admin password request.

It is possible. There is a plugin for NSIS that allows this. It is on my todo list.
