PC-DMIS writes settings, probe configs, and measurement data to its own
Program Files install directory at runtime. Without Modify permission
for BUILTIN\Users, non-admin accounts (ShopFloor) get a UAC elevation
prompt on every launch. The "run as admin once" workaround can't be
automated because PC-DMIS shows a license dialog on first run that
blocks silently.
Fix: grant BUILTIN\Users Modify with inheritance on:
- C:\Program Files\Hexagon\PC-DMIS 2016.0 64-bit
- C:\Program Files\Hexagon\PC-DMIS 2019 R2 64-bit
- C:\ProgramData\Hexagon
Runs as Step 2.5 in 09-Setup-CMM.ps1 after Install-FromManifest
completes. If the exe also has an embedded requireAdministrator manifest
(separate from the file-permission issue), that will need an additional
fix after testing.
