When we try to install a plugins on Illustrator the installer exit with error : "Operation is not supported in elevated mode, use command without sudo/admin "

this mean that we are not enable now to install with admin mode!!

The problem is on Windows !! no problem on mackintosh

Using "UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent" and installing with admin rights should be the right option and not the other way around!!

What is the plug in you are trying to install? Is it compatible with the version of windows you are running? You may have to go to the plug in website and check whether the plug in is designed to run on win 10 or 11 for example.

It's our plugin and it's not the first version we install it with Illustrator

since the version 2022 all is ok but not with this new version 2023 of "UnifiedPluginInstallerAgent" we have this error!

This seems more like a platform i.e. the OS issue or probably the installer issue(what are you using to create your installer) rather than the SDK issue.
