| blast007 | macsforme: in PR #255 (joystick improvements) is there a reason to use std::sqrtf() or std::sqrt() instead of just sqrtf() that we use elsewhere? | 10:53 |

| blast007 | guest8736738: the installer, or the normal installed game executable? | 14:53 |
| blast007 | perhaps you were seeing the Windows firewall prompt? that requires administrator access to allow the firewall exception to be added | 15:33 |
| blast007 | the installer doesn't currently pre-add Windows firewall rules | 15:35 |

| Agatha | In C++, one should always use `std::sqrt(...)`. (In C, one uses `sqrtf(...)`, `sqrt(...)`, or `sqrtl(...)` according to datatype.) | 16:27 |

| guest91 | it was download from https://download.bzflag.org/bzflag/windows/2.4.26/bzflag-2.4.26.exe | 21:29 |
| guest91 | this is not firwall prompt. its just do I want to allow this unsigned application to modify my device | 21:31 |
| guest91 | but it demands admin's password, instead of user's if at all | 21:31 |
| guest91 | if I cancel then it quits | 21:31 |
| blast007 | so the game *is* installed, and it's showing some dialog when you try to run the game from the start menu shortcut? | 21:37 |
| blast007 | are you able to provide a screenshot of the dialog? | 21:45 |
| blast007 | and which version and edition of Windows is this? | 21:46 |
| guest91 | blast007 I do not think it is installed... this exe is the installer, no? | 22:04 |
| guest91 | windows 10 | 22:04 |
| guest91 | can't take screenshot of this | 22:06 |
| guest91 | denied | 22:06 |
| blast007 | Yeah, that exe is the installer. The installer requires admin rights. | 22:07 |
| guest91 | what for? | 22:07 |
| blast007 | because it installs to c:\Program Files\, which only an admin can write to | 22:08 |
| guest91 | so give option to install to current users things | 22:08 |
| blast007 | I mean, it also needs to install a Microsoft Visual C++ runtime, which *also* likely needs admin rights | 22:09 |
| guest91 | dunno most games do not need this. only this one | 22:09 |
| guest91 | I probably have msvc runtime already | 22:10 |
| blast007 | "most games" being ones from Steam? | 22:10 |
| guest91 | yea, but also few not from steam | 22:10 |
| blast007 | Steam probably required admin rights to install initially | 22:10 |
| guest91 | isnt that runtime some dlls you can just "install" next to the exe? and put them both in user selectable dir | 22:10 |
| blast007 | I'd have to verify that's allowed by Microsoft. I belive at one that, which that worked, their terms didn't allow for that. | 22:11 |
| guest91 | what for you need their terms actually? it is not signed or anthing | 22:11 |
| blast007 | I don't know for sure if Microsoft lets us distribute their bare DLL files alongside the .exe | 22:12 |
| guest91 | ok the I guess just give option to skip installing runtime | 22:14 |
| guest91 | in NSIS can you continue once user refused to give the admin rights? this question pops up instantly, no other window | 22:15 |
| guest91 | I assume that is the nsis based installer | 22:15 |
| blast007 | I'm not sure if NSIS can operate in both modes. | 22:15 |
| blast007 | "RequestExecutionLevel highest" *might* do that | 22:15 |
| blast007 | I think currently we set that to admin | 22:16 |
| blast007 | I'm also looking into digitally signing future releases | 22:16 |
| guest91 | like this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18990418/how-can-i-switch-between-requiring-and-not-requiring-admin-permission-in-nsis | 22:16 |
| guest91 | yeah that one | 22:17 |

| *** guest91 <guest91!~guest91@193.25.5.81> has joined #bzflag | 22:26 | |
| blast007 | I'd want to see if the Windows Firewall popup is avoidable. Otherwise there's somewhat less of a reason for the installer to run as an unprivledged user. | 22:31 |
