This article was previously published under Q190317 SUMMARY Administrative privileges on the local computer are required
to install and develop applications in Microsoft Visual C++.
MORE INFORMATION Microsoft Visual C++ was developed to use features of
Windows and to allow for development of programs that require administrative
privileges on the local machine where Visual C++ is installed. So to install or
to use Visual C++, a developer is assumed to have administrative privileges on
the local machine.
On Windows 95 and Windows 98, some privileges may
be restricted using the Policy Editor. A developer using Visual C++ must use an
account that is unrestricted.
On Windows NT, a developer using Visual
C++ must use an account that is a member of the Administrators group.
Administrative privileges on a domain are not required for general Visual C++
installation and development activities.
Using an account that does
not have administrative privileges on the local machine might result in
diminished capabilities or undefined behavior when using Visual C++.
