"run as" administrator limitations

Hi...  For years I have been an administrator on my PC runnings Windows XP Pro and now on a new machine running Windows 7 Enterprise.  I build code in LabVIEW and have worked for years (on the XP Pro machine) in versions ranging from 6.1 through 7.1 and now up through 8.5...  I don't currently own 8.6, 2009 or 2010.  My company, for computer security reasons, is moving toward a model where I will no longer be able to simply "log on" as an admin.  I will instead log on as what I am assuming is what would be akin to a Power User.  But I would also have an admin account, just not one that will allow me to log on to my machine.  Instead, if I need to perform an admin function, like installing some software, I would right click on say some software installer's .exe file, and choose "run as administrator".  So far so good...  But what impact does that have on my ability to build LabVIEW executables, including those where I also create an installer for that executable using the Application Builder???  Can I do that with only this "run as administrator" capability???  If so, how would I do that???  And are there any other things I am missing about working with LabVIEW that I won't be able to do with the admin capability like I've described above???

 

Any feedback would be much appreciate... 

 

thanks... bob...

As long as you can run LabVIEW, you should have no problem building an executable.  Just be sure to build it into a folder where you have write permission.  

 

What you may have trouble with is installing any EXE+Installer you build with LabVIEW. That's generally where you need elevation.  But you could always give the installer to your IT dept and tell them where to install it.  If you are a power user, you may still be able to install new programs anyway.  

 

HTH,

Jason
