coewar Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I don't understand has been going on with BTSync Windows app permissions. Back even with ver 1.3 I had difficulties, and now they just are worse with the latest ver of 2.x. I have PC's with an admin account and also a non-admin. I want different folders synced for them.. it has been working fine in 1.3 but I finally thought to try 2. I can't get the thing to run at all without prompting me for an admin PW.. to which I cancel anyway because I want it to run as the restricted user.. and the funny thing is that it then runs that way, but always causes Windows 7 to prompt me. I manually copied the BTSync.exe to the %appdata% folder, changed its ownership.. going to look at what else I can do.. but why does this only happen to BTSync? What is it about this one that causes these permissions problems?? And I have UAC turned OFF!oh... I just figured out a way. I created a Shortcut to the BTSync.exe and pass the /NOINSTALL option and it works.. without prompting! at first I had /BRINGTOFRONT option as I saw it running on my other user.. but I don't want the screen to popup everytime and so of course removing /BRINGTOFRONT seems to not matter and it STILL COMES UP when it starts. But I can live with that one,.oh.. figured that out too.. with the /MINIMIZED option... so why does BTSync LIE about the options? /NOINSTALL and /MINIMIZED aren't even listed. And it seems there is no consistency. I installed this 6 times on different users on Win 7 and 1 on Win 2008 and they are run with different command line options. All today, all with the latest version.

RomanZ Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 @coewarThis is a known issue - Sync 2.x does not work well in multi-user environment. This is going to be fixed soon, I apologize for inconvenience. For the options question - all public options are listed in help. The /NOINSTALL, /BRINGTOFRONT and other non-listed are service options therefore they are not shown for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
