Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I am going to update the update launcher stub for FlashFXP to include the actual error returned by windows along with the error description.

When the installer is launched it first attempts to run it via CreateProcess() API, if this fails with an "Error 740 The Requested Operation Requires Elevation" it tries again using the ShellExecuteEX() API, if this fails then a error message box is displayed instructing the user to run the installer manually.

I'm not sure if the installer is returning an error code on exit or if the API is failing but by displaying the actual error message to the error message box we'll be able to determine the exact reason for the failure.

This change will be included in the next build.
