I have a workaround... added my user account to local admin group (which will be over-ridden at next login by policy), install TextPad 9.6.2 - all good and does not require admin to run.

Installing 'for me only' or all users results in the same thing - the app is installed in the profile of the admin user.

My "managed" i mean domain-joined with very restrictive security policy. I have admin credentials to use when required. I'll run the installer again (currently back on v9.6.1).

I use a managed computer for work. The install appears to fail if I install for myself or all users. i need to enter admin credentials too. On examination nothing is installed in Program Files or AppData, yet the install reports being completed successfully. No issues with 9.6.1.

This appears to be confined to v7.1 64bit, having just instlled 7.1 32bit where the context menu option does work as expected.

I can confirm this happens. Still occurs if TextPad x64 is run as Administrator and Windows UAC is disabled.

I use Oracle Virtualbox v4.0.12 (free desktop virtualisation). I have a Virtual Machine running XP, using a shared folder on the host machine. Quite often, when saving files edited by TextPad (v5.4.2) the files become corrupt. If opened in Notepad for example, you can see Texpad had duplicated lines ...

Bizarrely, on my Vista Business laptop and Textpad 5.10, the Textpad context menu only appears if UAC is enabled. Disabling UAC causes it to disappear.
