Windows Server 2016

The user I'm logging into the server is an admin, and I've made sure that I have full control rights on that exe, as well as set it to run as admin, no dice.

When I try to run wget.exe I get the "This app cant run .." popup box no matter what. I'll make another attempt to diagnose it tomorrow.

My guess is there is some dumb screening service that is running, the amount of top layer garbage that is in Windows OS these days is ridiculous.

I'll pull down 2016 myself and see what I see

Pulled down, 2016 install went through flawlessly. I would look into smartscreen and things like that. Probably a setting that needs to be disabled.

Interesting. I downloaded the eqemu_installer_files.zip and snatched the wget.exe from that zip to replace mine and it works perfectly as before. The only thing that comes to mind is that the .exe got corrupted somehow.

An interesting side note - when I replaced my .exe with the one from the installer, it was still marked as 'run as administrator' which pops up the annoying UAC message. When you do not run that exe as admin, no UAC box.
