UAC and patch install problem... for one user
We updated an application on a Vista SP2 (64 bit) workstation. Vendor recommended that UAC be disabled for the upgrade which we did. Upgrade was performed using admin credentials. At one point, when the program is opened after the upgrade, there is a message indicating that the program has been updated and that changes need to be made. In fact, a post-upgrade patch is installed at this time. For one user on the computer in question (but not for the admin or another standard non-admin user), the prompt for applying the changes continues to appear. This occurs even after making the user a local admin and turning off UAC for the installation of the patch. Once the user is no longer admin, or once UAC is enabled again, the prompt keeps appearing! This did not happen on the other 3 Vista machines (SP2, 64 bit) where the upgrade was perfromed and does not happen to the other standard (non-admin) user that logged on to the problem machine. What can I do short of turning off UAC?

Resolved by vendor tech support.Needed to modify a .ini file in a subfolder of the VirtualStore folder of the user's profile for the app to stop prompting for the patch. PatchDelta=0should have beenPatchDelta=1
