Fabrizio.Marana Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 After updating from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 the following error cropped up:When starting under a normal user account the MS Vista User Account Control (UAC) asks for admin privileges.After an Admin password is entered, all works fine though!When asking for details in the UAC, the following command line is displayed:"C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe" /PERFORMSINSTALL 128 "C:\Program files\uTorrent" 3241854681 This also happens when a new link (on the desktop) is created containing only "C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe"Searching the registry does not yield a string "PERFORMSINSTALL"This is not a blocking error, but damn annoying!

Fabrizio.Marana Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Further info:uninstalling uTorrent and re-installing (keeping settings) does not solve the problem.PERFORMSINSTALL is a string not present in any of the files in the %APPDATA%\uTorrent directory either... Oh yeah: the upgrade to 3.1.3 was done from a normal user account! Further update:Full search of hard drive did not locate string "PERFORMSINSTALL" (excluding EXE/DLL/SYS/... files) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrStrange Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 This also happens in Win 7. Possibly a bug, because:1. I've only noticed this behaviour in last 2 months approximately;2. the RunAsInvoker manifest is specified in uTorrent's code so it shouldn't happen? -Google for more info on this;3. Applying the fix then unapplying the fix and the fix is still applied.The fix (that works for me in the standard user account):Run in compatibility mode. I ticked Windows 7 and uTorrent does not ask for elevation privileges. I unticked this and uTorrent still does not ask for elevation.To apply compatibility mode:right click uTorrent, select properties, select compatibility, then tick "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" (whichever Operating System is the most recent and which works for you).Then click Apply and OK to close all windows.Then once uTorrent runs without asking for elevation, close uTorrent and undo above fix.I find this fix needs to be applied every time you install a newer uTorrent version.So, install it as an admin instead?I always install every app (including uTorrent) as an admin as I have a Software Restriction Policy set which requires elevation if the .exe is not in certain folders.

ondaettan Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Confirmed, running in compatibilitymode (XP SP3) solves the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prashant Rana Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 The compatibility mode solution worked for me.I first tried with Windows 7 compatibility mode, it still asked. Then I selected Windows XP SP 3 and it worked. I unchecked it again and its not asking me now thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrizio.Marana Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Upgrade to 3.1.3 build 27207 solves the problem without having to resort to XP compatibility mode. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
