Hi,

Maybe there is a very simple solution, but as a novice I am having trouble with MSI packages. First, it is necessary to run RU as an admin to create MSI package. That is ok, because it is not often MSI package is created. Unfortunately, in order to add remote PC to a viewer using "Add using code" feature, you must run RU as an admin too, but the address book is not shared by regular user and admin user. Which is a bit annoying, because I do not use admin account daily.

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Not at all. This feature has nothing to do with admin privileges. You simply open the Viewer, click Connection -> Add using code and paste your code in the window.

Or did you mean anything else?
