Poedit update fails in non-admin account

[igorlino]

POEdit fails update since it does not triggers the admin rights dialog.

All window programs installers/updaters typically/usually trigger the windows rights popup dialog, that shows/asks for admin login account.

Since POEdit is not triggering for the admin rights, the update fails eventually. Its really an inconsistency.

The workaround, is to go the website and download the installer, and execute it under as "Admin", then it installs properly.

Not true exactly like that. See #201 for what is actually going on (and please check at least the open issues first to avoid filling duplicates?).

sorry for the duplicate. The "elevate rights" is the better wording. I simply cannot install the package unless I execute as elevated user, this is the 1st time of the hundreds of applications installers that have used where I have this problem, so its specific to POEdit installer/updater.

I simply cannot install the package

This is simply not true. You can install it. Of course, as a non-admin user, you must install into a location you actually have permission to copy files to. This is very much not specific to “Poedit's installer” (which is the widely used Inno Setup).

Again, this is described in the other bug, including the rationale.
