SYSTEM - Why are the Setup.exe Programs Invoking User Account Control?
Q.   When you attempt to run the programs "ACTSETUP.exe" and "SYSSETUP.exe"  under Windows 2008 the OS invoke UAC (User Account Control) and the user requires  "administrator" rights to the "server" in order to execute  these programs. 
 
A.  It's not a ManEx issue its Windows and how Microsoft dictates what .exe's get the user account control and which do not.  The user account control get's activated on these two applications in VISTA also. We don't believe we can prevent that from occurring.  Perhaps it's because these two executables have the word "SETUP" in them that triggers Windows and Vista to think it needs UAC (User Account Control)?   
 
Resolution:  The only know solution at this time is to turn off UAC on that particular machine.  This option is found under the Control panel/user accounts in Windows Vista.  This will NOT affect anything in ManEx.
