Bug #: 52686
Summary: Tomcat7w will not run without runas Administrator
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: 7.0.25
Platform: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Packaging
AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
ReportedBy: mikebel...@yahoo.com
Classification: Unclassified
After installing tomcat, one finds the nice little system tray will not load.
1. The immediate reason is tomcat7w.exe must run as administrator.
2. A MANUAL workaround is for the customer to go to startup, right click,
choose advanced, and select Run as administrator.
3. However, people shouldn't have to do this manually
4. The next way to do things (and the more official way) is to use an
application manifest.
5. These can be installed manually or embedded. An example might be
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0" >
<assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
name="tomcat7w"
type="win32" />
<description>Force Tomcat to run as admin for config</description>
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="true" />
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>
6. However, saving this as tomcat7w.exe.manifest will still fail.
7. This is because tomcat7w already includes an embedded manifest, and in these
cases windows ignores the external manifest.
Proposal is to fix the embedded manifest. The current manifest is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
