i want
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false"/>

[develar]

If one-click is false, UAC will be requested during installation.

It seems, you need to set allowElevation to false also. But I see that in this case requestedExecutionLevel is also not set to admin Please check. If so, it will be fixed today.

[develar]

For what do you disable one-click installation?

[IDrinkMoreWater]

Thank you so soon reply.
Set allowElevation to false，I tried it，but it not working ；
I want UAC will be requested during running;

[IDrinkMoreWater]

@develar disable one-click,because I want set allowToChangeInstallationDirectory true

[develar]

Cannot reproduce — 19.20.1,

    nsis: {
      oneClick: false,
      allowElevation: false,
      perMachine: true,
    }

Installer has RequestExecutionLevel admin and requires admin to run.

[develar]

I misunderstood you. Do you want ability to specify requestedExecutionLevel for application, not only for installer, right?

[SZzzzz]

@develar I have the same issue. How to specify requestedExecutionLevel for application?

[develar]

@SZzzzz it doesn't work?

[IDrinkMoreWater]

@SZzzzz my config，it‘s working

"win": {
      "icon": "resources/icon.ico",
      "requestedExecutionLevel": "requireAdministrator",
      "target": [
        "nsis"
      ]
    },
 "nsis": {
      "artifactName": "${productName}-${version}.${ext}",
      "perMachine": true,
      "oneClick": false,
      "guid": "21b4651a-e93e-4793-a19c-2f102a494a26",
      "allowToChangeInstallationDirectory": true,
      "menuCategory": false,
      "installerIcon": "resources/icon.ico",
      "installerHeaderIcon": "resources/icon.ico",
      "allowElevation": true,
      "warningsAsErrors": false,
      "installerLanguages": "zh_CN",
      "language": 2052,
      "deleteAppDataOnUninstall": true
    },

I'm on electron-builder 20.8.1, and having trouble getting "requireAdministrator" to work properly with one-click nsis installs.
Our users are on Win10x64, and have administrator rights.
Main reason to want users to run as admin is a workflow step within the app that involves writing to the local fs. Things work as desired when users right-click to choose "Run as Administrator", but of course we can't rely on that as it's a terrible UX. I'm new to electron and desktop app dev, and would be very grateful for any help here.

I've tried all the relevant permutations (e.g. w/ oneClick: false and allowElevation: true, as well as experimenting with perMachine: false) but can't seem to configure things in a way that behaves the same as when the user right-clicks to run as admin.

I'm using an electron-builder.yml file for config, and it contains something like this:

win:
  requestedExecutionLevel: "requireAdministrator"
  target:
    target: "nsis"
    arch: "x64"
  icon: "static/panda-icon.ico"
  files: "!**/bin/mac/**/*"

nsis:
  oneClick: true # false==assisted
  perMachine: true # true means C:\Program Files\ (vs per-user, e.g. C:\Users\cweekly\AppData\Local\Programs\)
  # allowElevation: true # only valid w/ assisted (oneClick false)
  # allowToChangeInstallationDirectory: true # only valid w/ assisted (oneClick false)

@cweekly did you manage to find a solution? I found that on version electron-builder@^20.2.0 your config will work I can't get it working on version 20.28.4 though

[cweekly]

@gjavi1 No, this issue was still in the backlog when I stopped work on the relevant project back in June. Thanks for reproducing it, anyway!
