When installing Eclipse RCP based on Eclipse 3.7 into "C:\Program Files" users are unable to update the application unless UAC is disabled. We use the following class for updating our application: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.equinox/p2/examples/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.examples.rcp.prestartupdate/src/org/eclipse/equinox/p2/examples/rcp/prestartupdate/P2Util.java?view=markup&revision=1.9&root=RT_Project Update check always returns "nothing to update". After looking into server logs I realized that p2 doesn't send any requests to retrieve content.jar and artifacts.jar. After disabling UAC the update worked as expected.
I've found a related issue: If I turn UAC on, after copying some plugins to \dropins folder, my RCP would not recognize or load them. The plugins would not appear in 'help->about->installed software'. As you expect, if i turn UAC off, this works fine. Does this case come from the same issue of P2?
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
