Please re-run this installer as a normal user instead of "run as Administartor"

Hi. Hope its ok to reopen this thread as the ones I found are closed / locked with no solution.

I'm running macOS 14.1.1 (Sonoma) using CrossOver 23.7.0.36567.

I managed to fix this issue by copying the installer into the "Open C:\" part the game and running it from there.

  • I installed my old game but I also need to install an update / patch into this same game.
  • After installing main game, I selected the bottle and clicked on "Open C: Drive"
  • This shows Program Files etc. I copied the update.exe file into "drive_c" and then double-clicked it.
  • It opened and installed without giving the "Please re-run this installer as a normal user instead of "run as Administrator"" error.

Game: Championship Manager 0102. Had to install official patch. Old game but great fun!

I hope this helps someone else.
