Admin Privileges are required for running certain functionalities in NetSim such as Emulation, and hence this is asked. However, all of the features in NetSim simulation can be run without admin privileges.
Open a notepad and create a batch file in the desktop with the following code in it
"C:\Windows\System32\cmd" /min /C "set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER && start "" %1 "<NetSim Shortcut Object Name>" and save it as NetSim.bat
To get the Object Name
- Right Click on NetSim Shortcut
- Click on Properties, then click on Security Tab
- Copy-paste the object name to the batch file in place of <NetSim Shortcut Object Name>
This batch file should be used to start NetSim instead of the default NetSim shortcut (that gets created on the desktop after NetSim installation).
