huh

#

ive never seen that screen before lmao

rocky arrow
#

that's control panel tho

rocky arrow
#

I've also tried to give TrustedInstallers permissions [Probably the highest possible on Windows]

#

it doesn't make any difference

opal cairn
#

when you try install it

rocky arrow
#

Yeah

opal cairn
#

See if you can run is as another nonadmin user

#

just so we cn eliminate that

rocky arrow
#

Yeah one sec

opal cairn
#

also whats this set to

rocky arrow
#

I know it says "Make sure it is not on Never Notify"

opal cairn
#

set it to top or 2nd from top

#

then try install vencord

#

deny it admin

rocky arrow
#

But yeah as i said it always worked even with that on, the administrator user doesn't force everything to run as admin

opal cairn
#

then go thru that

rocky arrow
#

yeah gonna to

#

It's better if I try to make another user, it still warns me

#

Give me one moment

opal cairn
#

sure

rocky arrow
#

Uhh there's one issue, since I've removed every single Microsoft bloatware that forced me to make an account for using windows I can't really make a normal account the ordinary way

#

It opens this window, I have to learn how to create another normal user account

#

I don't really have any other permissions issues with any other programs

#

Is there a way for installing it "Manually"?

opal cairn
rocky arrow
#

oh Dev build install?

#

Is that related to the powershell install?

opal cairn
#

Yeah essentially

#

try this as last resort

rocky arrow
#

I'll check it, I'm first trying to adjust some stuff on my pc

opal cairn
#

npm i -g pnpm needs to be run in admin cmd then the rest needs to be non admin cmd

rocky arrow
#

Looks like that the only installation process that is able to do at least something is "./VencordInstallerCli.exe --install", unfortunately I can't really run anything as a normal user due to the fact that I use my PC on an Administrator account

#

I don't know if it actually means something, but the same issue doesn't occur with BetterDiscord or other modifications

opal cairn
#

Have you tried Vesktop?

rocky arrow
#

yeah I tried it and it worked, but I don't really like the audio quality when screensharing

opal cairn
#

Ah yea that's fair

rocky arrow
#

It kinda popped in and out

opal cairn
#

I'm willing to bet that it's the admin thing that's causing the issue

#

But if we cant work around that I'm really not sure

rocky arrow
#

I don't know in which way since I've always used it with an admin account

#

And maybe it's not even an Admin rights problem, everything that runs inside an Admin account got administrator permissions if I'm not mistaken

#

Actually, i have an idea, what about trying an older version of the installer? Maybe the one that still had the trolley icon lmao

rocky arrow
rocky arrow
#

Should I submit this issue on github?

opal cairn
#

It's just bundled in with "we dont support admin install issues"

rocky arrow
#

Ahw

#

I'll figure out how to make a normal user and hope the issue will be still there

rocky arrow
#

@opal cairn I have some updates

#

I've discovered that when I install discord on my system it gets installed on a strange place [C:\ProgramData\Administrator] unlike on a normal windows [C:\Users\user\AppData\Local]

opal cairn
#

that is weird

#

does it work now though

rocky arrow
# rocky arrow

I wonder why discord is here instead of the usual appdata local folder

rocky arrow
#

just because it is in a different place

#

I probably might know why it happens

#

The "ProgramData" folder is hidden

#

The installer is probably unable to manage a hidden folder or just gets confused over the fact it is on a different place

#

Bruh, I'm sorry if I wasted your time

opal cairn
#

No it's ok happy to help

rocky arrow
#

<33

#

Do you have any knowledge about changing discord install place?

#

Oh I managed to just move it without any issue, vencord works!

opal cairn
#

okok

#

if you want to change that install issue you need to make a regedit

#

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

Double click "ProgramFilesDir" and change the value to where you want to install.

rocky arrow
#

Ahh

opal cairn
#

That lets you set the default

rocky arrow
#

Ah yeah I see

opal cairn
rocky arrow
#

Yeah

opal cairn
#

....

#

weird

rocky arrow
#

It's so confusing

#

I was comparing it with an original windows

#

and it's pretty much the same

opal cairn
#

oh wait

#

thatss it

#

thats why u dont install discord as admin

rocky arrow
opal cairn
#

u installed base discord as administrator so that's the path it defaults to

rocky arrow
opal cairn
#

so the patch couldnt find it

rocky arrow
#

Maybe this time it changed its mind and installed on another place lol

#

I wonder why vencord doesn't support other directories tho lol
