Problem
In a recent forum thread, a user reported receiving the URL handler registration prompt:
And after clicking Yes, the admin user error appeared in a new cmd window, while the main GUI process continued normally.
Cause
The URL handler registration intentionally runs
ckan.exe gui registerUrl
as administrator, which trips the admin user check.Changes
Now the elevated command line to register the handler includes
--asroot
to bypass the admin check. This should allow it to finish normally.
