From 7d8a8cc25ffd756e42d478908f14d9adf8eceed8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: JeremyRand Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2018 07:51:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Avoid launching as admin when NSIS installer ends. The Bitcoin Core NSIS script runs with elevated privileges. Unfortunately, this means that it launches Bitcoin Core itself with elevated privileges when the user chooses to launch Bitcoin Core at the end of the installation procedure. This commit works around the issue by having explorer.exe launch Bitcoin Core. Seems to be a similar approach to what http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ShellExecAsUser_plug-in does, but without a plugin. h/t to "UK" at https://mdb-blog.blogspot.se/2013/01/nsis-lunch-program-as-user-from-uac.html?showComment=1410158039989#c2463780017054126736 for the sample code. Fixes #7990. --- share/setup.nsi.in | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/share/setup.nsi.in b/share/setup.nsi.in index dd42085a27..9fee9b42e0 100644 --- a/share/setup.nsi.in +++ b/share/setup.nsi.in @@ -20,7 +20,8 @@ SetCompressor /SOLID lzma !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_KEY ${REGKEY} !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_REGISTRY_VALUENAME StartMenuGroup !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_DEFAULTFOLDER "@PACKAGE_NAME@" -!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN $INSTDIR\@BITCOIN_GUI_NAME@@EXEEXT@ +!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN "$WINDIR\explorer.exe" +!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_PARAMETERS $INSTDIR\@BITCOIN_GUI_NAME@@EXEEXT@ !define MUI_UNICON "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-uninstall.ico" !define MUI_UNWELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP "@abs_top_srcdir@/share/pixmaps/nsis-wizard.bmp" !define MUI_UNFINISHPAGE_NOAUTOCLOSE
