Microsoft recommends running Visual Studio with administrator privileges under Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. To properly use the ImageGear Samples, please run Visual Studio with elevated permissions. To run Visual Studio with elevated administrator permissions, first confirm you are a member of the "Administrators" group on the local machine. Then right-click the Visual Studio shortcut and select the "Run as administrator" option from the context menu. Click ‘Continue’ to the UAC prompt. To ensure you have the latest updates, after running Visual Studio, choose ‘Check for Updates’ from the Help Menu.
