Boxford

[dbalaam]

Hi We are trying to run Boxford software on a Windows 10 machine and it can only be run as Administrators and I have spoken to Boxford and there is no way round this apparently. But as a school we cannot let students have local admin, has anybody got this working in their school.

Use Process Monitor to see what it's actually trying to do, then grant access to those files to standard users.

We are currently running Windows 10 1703 in production and we can run Boxford v5.11.2.1 with our students without the need for Run as Administrator.

When we upgraded a couple of machines to 1903 as a test, we suddenly get error messages which Boxford advise updating to latest version (5.2.01.1)to fix. This fixes it but only if we Run as Administrator, otherwise we get new errors.

 

Anyone find a fix for this? Currently going through process monitor to see if that'll shed any light

Hi dbalaam and leesetford121,

 

Did you manage to get this sorted out?

No luck my end I'm afraid.

I have also got a request for DT staff to be "administrators" for Boxford software. What did others do? Would Power Users suffice?

HI by what I remember you have to give write permissions to C:\ProgramData\Denford. under each user login

 

Hope this helps
