Description
After launching the BOINC installation exe (Win7, for compatibility install) as a plain user (pretty possibly the one, under which credentials the BOINC suite runs), the installation raises an UAC to be able to run under some admin account credentials.
After the installation, the wizard offers a checkbox to launch the Manager prior to terminating itself. But the Manager is launched under the same admin account with elevated rights, which in turn (in the case of compatibility install) starts the client with same elevated rights. The apps follow...
The installation process should start the Manager at least as the plain user, who launched the installation.
