If that's not possible, then you need to add CopyMode: alwaysskipifsameorolder to each of the lines. (This isn't necessary on version 3.0.5 and later since it's the default behavior.)Put all other files pertaining to your application after the 'end VC system files' line.Never pull in any of the system files from your own Windows System directory. If this advice is ignored, you risk potentially causing DLL version conflicts (like ) on users' systems.Administrative privileges are requiredIn order for the files with the restartreplace flag to install successfully on Windows NT/2000/XP, the user must have administrative privileges. By default, Inno Setup installations do not check for administrative privileges.

It is recommended that make your installation script check for this, by setting the PrivilegesRequired Setup section directive:Setup.PrivilegesRequired=admin.If this is not done, and the user doesn't have administrative privileges, an 'Access Denied' error message will be displayed during the installation.Revisions to this Document2007-06-08:.

I'm creating an installer using Inno Setup. As part of the install process I'm installing Tomcat. On Windows 7 I suffer from the problem described here:I can fix it by manually setting the 'Run as administrator' on tomcat7w.exe (the issue and the root cause is the same for tomcat7 as well), but I don't know how to do it through Inno Setup.I'm finding threads that explain running someprogram.exe as administrator, but here the program is started when the Tomcat service starts (e.g.

On machine start-up), so I need a way to flag it using Inno Setup to 'Run as administrator' rather than actually run it.
