Hi,
with my computers (W7 and W10) I have the same behaviour.
When the systems were new (or reformatted) the launchers (the programs created with PortableApps Launcher) worked fine.
After some time (may be after other programs installations), Windows, EVERY TIME I launch a PApps applications (EVERY APPLICATIONS), show the window to execute them with admin privileges.
The normal programs start normally.
How can you explain this? An how can I correct it?
Thanks.

It could be the location you installed to. Or the permissions on the folders. The apps are not set to require admin rights except when the bundled app needs it (system tools like uninstallers).
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I have created a folder named "Portable applications" in C:
One program that cause it is JauntePE. If I use it PA fail to load without admin till I reformat HD.
JauntPE is not supported by PortableApps.com. It hooks into the OS and can cause issues. If it is causing issues with your other apps, you'll need to contact the publisher.

This is one program...
But the same behaviour I obtained in other computers without JauntePE.
And the strange thing is Launchers builded in NSIS work fine.
(So, the reason is not NSIS).
Have you (anyone who read this post) ever noticed the same?
