How often is it that you run into a Vendor's Application that is broke AF!?
Came across another application that the vendor needs to have User
writeaccess to the
c:\program files (x86)\applicationfolder. It's totally non functional until you added that permission.Why - (epic face palm)?

"our program can only run as Administrator"

All the freaking time. We're surrounded by incompetence.
We've got a client that uses a time clock that is tied into their Microsoft Dynamics database. DO NOT TOUCH, even with a 29 1/2' pole!

I downvote this requirement, not the comment

@flaxking constant. We have 2 apps not vetted by us that were chosen by management that must have rights to the program files folder. Apps won't pass security audit

What's fun is when you get some files in the virtual store

Daily. UPS Worldship used to work, but for some reason it wants admin now. ERP systems, probably every single one is broken in one way or another. Autodesk Vault has an utility to bulk upload files to Vault, but it doesn't work at all. And support will tell you the same and not to use it lol. I think the more expensive the software, the more broken it is.
