Are you an admin over your computer or just a standard user?
There are a few things you can try.
1. I came across this script and this header allows me to run installs as admin on client machines that are standard users.
copy the contents of this script and paste it into notepad and save the file as mohaa.bat. Then double click it to launch your game.
::==================================
::-- This will run as admin --
::==================================
@echo off
::Check for permissions
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
::If error flag set, we do not have admin.
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
echo Requesting administrative privileges...
goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )
:UACPrompt
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
exit /B
:gotAdmin
if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" )
pushd "%CD%"
CD /D "%~dp0"
@echo off
::==================================
::-- End of main ADMIN script --
::==================================
start "" "c:\program files x86\ea games\mohaa\mohaa.exe"
The line in red needs to be modified to point to wherever your mohaa.exe is
The other option is; if you ARE an admin over your system, try setting this registry key. You'll have to restart for it to work, but I believe this should suppress UAC for admins. As long as you're an admin, you should be fine.
cmd /c reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v FilterAdministratorToken /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Hope one of those help
