Can't Upgrade - Administrator Privileges Issue

[Dave_Witherden]

I am trying to upgrade Wowza Streaming Engine to the latest version but when I run the update.bat file from the new Wowza\Windows directory in the Upgrades folder in an elevated command prompt I get the following message:

Verifying running as administrative user Administrator privileges are required to update the Wowza Streaming Engine, Please retry with Administrator privileges

I am logged on as a local administrator, and am running the command prompt as an administrator too, so I’ve no idea why I am getting this error.

Does anyone have any ideas on why this might be happening?

Thanks

Hello,

Wanted to follow up with the response we provided via your open ticket for general public knowledge:

Try editing the [install directory]/updates/[version update]/windows/update.bat file and remove the following code:

echo Verifying running as administrative user
net session >nul 2>&1
if NOT %errorLevel% == 0 (
   echo Administrator privileges are required to update the Wowza Streaming Engine,  Please retry with Administrator privileges
   goto end
   )

Once this is done, save the file and run again.

Regards,

Alex
