Configuring UAC for Local Admin Users

This article explains how to set up local administrative control for Retail Pro 9 in a Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, or Windows 10 environment. In other words ? this ensures that certain computer users are able to launch and use Retail Pro - and have the appropriate permissions to do so.

Document Summary:

Retail Pro 9 must be launched by an administrative user the first time it is launched, and there are no exceptions. Once this is completed, it is often necessary for non-administrative users to use Retail Pro 9 on a daily basis.

1. Make sure DEP (Data Execution Prevention) is turned off for RPro9.exe.

2. Make sure that the "non-administrative" user has permissions to access and work with relevant files:

• Full permissions to the \Retailpro9 folder (and all its sub-folders)
• Read/Execute permission to the \Oracle directory (and its sub-folders).

By following the steps above, your non-administrative users will avoid running into an error message upon launch that looks similar to this:
