Automatic WebEPG updates? (1 Viewer)

[SwissBuster]

I've configured webEPG to run daily (from within MP config), but it doesn't seem to work. My suspicion is that on Vista (at least on my machine), webEPG has to be 'run as administrator' to work, and the daily update probably doesn't request to 'run as administrator' (and if it did, I'd need to allow this access anyway, so it wouldn't be 'automatic').

Can anyone help me diagnose if this is the problem? I looked in the log files but couldn't find anything. Plus, I'm not sure I'm looking in the right logs!

It was indeed the 'run as adminsitrator' issue which was stopping this from working.

I found a 'fix' to this newbie Vista problem: you can turn off the user access control from the control panel in Vista so that the 'run as administrator' command is never needed. See a full description here.

Why does the webepg need administrator rights?

Turning off UAC is not an option for me.
