Unable to create new account on Vista unless running as an admin

description

Thanks for writing and releasing this. Unfortunately I have a bug to report.
 
I have a couple of Vista systems. On one of them, my kids can't use the plugin unless they are local admins. If they are a standard user, this doesn't recognize previously created Facebook accounts and it will fail when trying to connecting to a new Facebook account.
 
This is a showstopper for me. I don't let my kids run as admins and thus they can't use this tool. I run as an admin, and the tool is great otherwise.
 
I've looked into this a bit more and found that on one of my Vista boxes, I can use LiveUpload on Vista as a standard user. I'm trying to identify the differences now. The failing machine uses Vista parental controls and has OneCare antivirus.
 
The failing trace is below:

It appears to be related to Vista Parental Controls. I had them on for my daughter, though they were "monitor only", she could visit any site and run any program. When I turned it off completely, then the upload tool worked.

Thanks again for writing this. It is a nice tool.

It appears to be correct that this is down to Parental Controls being on. Turning it off (merely removing all restrictions is ineffective) resolves the issue.

Without turning it off, I get the exact same error in the trace.

It's a shame, as it'll probably stop me using this (it may sound odd, but I use Parental Controls on my own a/c to make sure only stuff I want to run can run). Is a real pity as this is a good app, and it beats doing things via Facebook on the web (anyone else annoyed at them having about fifteen versions of their installer that all need to be installed?!)

Thanks for investigating this guys. I've verified this myself and you're right, it's definitely Vista's Parental Controls. I'll try to fix this up for the next version.
