Description
I've created an installer with Qt IFW, but elevation is required for some operations.
When running the installer, i always see the following when it tries to download the server artifacts.
Warning: File does not exist.
[69065] archiveDownloadError : Download Error : Cannot download archive http://<retracted>/1.2.3generic.7z: Cannot download http://<retracted>/1.2.3generic.7z.sha1. Cannot create file "<retracted>/1.2.3generic.7z.sha1":
It doesn't seem to matter where you gainAdminRights, I always see this error.
Steps to Reproduce
- Have an Azure AD admin account
- Start installer as non-admin Azure user
- Progress installer and enter Azure AD admin credentials into UAC prompt
- Fail
Investigation
- Metadatajob::unzipRepositoryTaskFinished calls QTemporaryDir(..)
- The remoterepo-xxxxx folder created in %temp% has malformed permissions
- When this folder is copied to the installer cache, the admin account cannot extract it.
- See attached picture.
- Left is some random file in temp.
- Right is what QT produces, missing system and administrators. 'Everyone' has no permissions.
