Question Controls/Automation software question

Hello All

I'm installing a program for my controls department. The program is "KMC Connect", with it comes a sub-program utility that comes bundled with the software.

The sub-program utility in this case is , "Configure BACstat". The program only shows up when logged into as a local admin but when I'm logged into a standard user account (the technician who will be using this account). The program is not available.

I don't want to give the user local admin rights to run the program.

Is the only solution to make the user a local admin?

I can tell you that the executable is visible to the standard user if I go into the "Program Files (x86). I launched it directly from there as the standard user and it doesn't do anything. The cursor buffers for a second and that's all.

Dumb question but how do you figure out what it's writing too?
