Over UAC: Batch Build On Vista

This post talks about how to use make.all.bat on Windows Vista with UAC enabled.

Because of security concerns, I reactivated UAC on Vista. And now how can I use make.all.bat to make a CBC build? In fact, it is quite easy if you become familiar with UAC.

The steps are,

  • Launch a cmd.exe console as Administrator,
  • cd to the folder containing make.all.bat,
  • Run make.all.bat.

Isn’t it simple? Yep, in this way, you find yourself back to XP days.

Why MS provides us such a simple way (although not easy to notice)? I guess for MS guys who develop pieces on Vista, UAC is also something blocks their way. A console walk around may ease their (and my) pains.
