[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #43824] Network share not ready after installation

[Armin Müller]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #43824 (project octave):

Hmmm, I did a diff on the Octave installation folder, "octaverc" files etc.
but nothing special here.

*How about this theory:*

When launching the installer, UAC is asking for confirmation (no
"administrator password"). After that, the installer is running under
Integrity Level = High. The installer is spawning Octave, also under Integrity
Level = High.

When exiting Ocatave and launching again manually, then Integrity Level =
Medium.

*Citing Microsoft*

Some Programs Cannot Access Network Locations When UAC Is Enabled

"This problem occurs because UAC treats members of the Administrators group as
standard users. Therefore, network shares that are mapped by logon scripts are
shared with the standard user access token instead of ..."

So, I would suggest that the installer has to launch Octave under "Medium" IL
to fix the behaviour.
