Well, it needs administrator rights when the game is initially installed in Program Files or some other non-user folder. I don't see why that "seems malwareish". If there's a way we can popup a dialog granting permissions to do this, that'd be better.

I have seen a few programs that do this, although that's useless info since I can't remember the names of them ;) [EDIT] - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowssecurity/ thread/306f894f-e6e0-47e9-bef5-84c60c84c41b http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756929.aspx May help | |
