[GNC] GnuCash Language

[John Ralls]

Pedro,

That’s not necessary. Installers are special in that they can only run in admin mode so they’ll pop a user access control (UAC) dialog to ensure that they have the  necessary privilege and consent. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/application-security/application-control/user-account-control/.

Regards,
John Ralls
