I use netbeans to build native my Java application as native (.exe). I've created a new project and when I install and try to execute the application requires admin privilege. I've tried to create a new project but the problem always happen. This problem always happen with this code, I've build other aplication and the problem doesn't happen.

I got this error: "Error 740: The requested operation requires elevation"

Ps: I'm using InnoSetup from Netabeans to generate the installer.

What could be the cause of problem? Which may I verify?

Thx :)

  • It does not look like this has anything to do with [tag:inno-setup], so I'm removing that tag. The problem from Inno Setup perspective is covered by [Application does not work when installed with Inno Setup](https://stackoverflow.com/q/44333839/850848) - But you are obviously aware that the problem lies in the application itself. – Martin Prikryl Sep 01 '18 at 08:27
  • Well, what is your program trying to do? Are you trying to bind to any ports <= 1024? Is it trying to access / run any system files? If so, maybe [use this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/10558351/1790644) to invoke UAC, and spawn only the subprocess as admin, vs the whole application. – Matt Clark Sep 01 '18 at 08:29
  • More information is needed. The original source of that "740" error is not Java, NetBeans or Inno Setup - it's Windows. So update your post with [1] Your Windows version. [2] Full details of how and where that error was reported. Just stating _"I got this error"_ is not enough. [3] Any relevant errors in the Windows Event logs. – skomisa Sep 02 '18 at 06:21

Thanks guys for your help!

But I've solved the problem. The name of the project was 'UpdaterSuperAudio' and for some unknown reason it requires admin level, after I change the name to 'AtaulizarSuperAudio' ('Atualizar' means 'Updater' in pt-BR) the problem disappear.

It has no relation with my code, was just the name!

    Windows heuristically "detects" if an .exe is an installer and makes it run elevated. Part of that decision process is checking .exe name for keywords like "Setup". See also https://stackoverflow.com/q/35824858/850848#35824986 – Martin Prikryl Sep 03 '18 at 06:26
