Q Can I run CX-Supervisor Runtime as a restricted Windows User?
CX-Supervisor (and CX-Server) require Administrator rights to be installed on a computer, but other
users can then run the software. The runtime will run without problems as a Standard User (member
of Power Users group) and will run as a Restricted User (member of Users Group) although will
show errors when trying to update the registry.
To avoid these errors specific registry access can be provided by an Administrator to the following
registry keys:
• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0002D780-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0002D781-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CX-Supervisor.Application
• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CX-Supervisor.Project
