[THREAD MOD REQUEST] ShellExecute Failed...
-
Hi,
My apologies if this is not the correct method to request thread moderation, I created an account primarily just to make this post.
I wanted to point out that this thread (locked) attempts to address an error, but does not actually address the issue:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/10945/shellexecute-failed-2-is-this-command-correct-fixThe error pops up for some users who run the installer with the Run as Administrator option enabled. So telling users to disable Run as Administrator is not a fix; that’s like taking your car to a mechanic and being told to walk.
Here is an actual fix addressing the problem:
