When I try to install it on my windows vista, it stops and says

“Freedom cannot be installed on systems with .NET framework version lower than 3.5″

I do not know what to do from this point??? I just purchased the program. Please help!

[...] You could try version 3, it came out a few weeks ago and is greatly improved. The only other suggestion I would have off the top of my head is to try elevating it to run in administrator mode. [...]

Are there any other ideas to have a batch file always run as administrator when launching from the Run… command? I’ve got a tonne of NET stuff in batch files, and hitting Windows+R and typing in the name is really nice and easy. I’d like to keep doing it. Would re-doing the scripts in PowerShell help?

You can change compatibilty modes of any programs (including protected as “part of system”) by manually setting them using Regedit. See this registry branch:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

Hello!

Advanced Run is the most powerful free launcher that allows you to run any program, run any command line command, open and edit and print documents on behalf of any user account without switching between users.

Advantages:
– Advanced Run substitutes standard Windows Run feature so it is easy to run it by pressing [Win]+[R] standard key combination.
– Pick Advanced Run… context menu item on whatever file you want to run or open.
– Pick any user account you need, type it’s password and run a command without switching between users.
– Select security profile to gain or reduce the privileges of the process you run.
– Use command templates to dramatically automate your frequent and routine actions.
– Specify implicitly shell verbs to perform additional actions on the file you need to open.
– Use command shortcuts to automate your routine work.
– Share your settings, security profiles and command shortcuts within your corporate network.
– Take advantage of preinstalled security profiles and a whole bunch of useful command shortcuts.
– Advanced Run has always been and always will be completely free!

What about CMD or BAT files? — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 05:35:05 +0000

I’ve made some handy .CMD (and/or .BAT) files to help me do stuff like NET SHARE etc…

However, when I click properties->compatibility on the files, the administrator-checkbox is grayed out… For example, “NET SHARE C$ /D” does not work in normal command prompt, but if I open up an administrative command prompt it works just fine.

However, I’d like to run the above mentioned command and similar commands by just easilly clicking on a file instead of opening up a command prompt.

Should I just scrap my CMD/BAT utility files, and succumb to the evilness of Vista or is there any way to make Vista run CMD/BAT files in administrative mode? After all, they’re MY files and this is MY computer… I’ve tried changing the Ownership of the files and taking the ownership to my personal account, and I’ve double checked that my account IS a member of the admin group, and the (insert insulting adjective here) Vista does not still allow me to run the CMD/BAT files as administrator without right-clicking them and selecting “Run as admin”. But I’d just want to be able to double-click them and roll with it… or better yet, I’ve added them to my PATH variable and in XP was able to run them straight from the Run-dialog. But noooooooo, not in Vista anymore, nooooooo… Snif, sorry about the rant, but this UAC nonsense is getting out of hand when the Owner of the Computer cannot control the Computer anymore…
