[@TK] the developers have embedded a non-admin requesting manifest into the main executable so it does NOT request UAC rights elevation on execution, the developer has tried to fix that error by adding an external .manifest file that if it were embedded into the executable would have made it request elevated rights… this is a basic mistake! as is installing programs into users appdata\roaming hierarchy. The program HAS to be run as an administrator in order to see attached flash drives and be able to access the storage media in a way that enables access to individual sectors to scan for deleted or otherwise lost files. Clearly softorbits do not know how to embed customized manifests into their dev’ projects and do not know where to put their executable files so they are protected from non-elevated processes. Heck it’s possible with third party tools to replace or add a manifest to an executable, they could have done that and then signed the exe… Should we therefore trust them with our computers stability and data? I think not!
