Important note
You need administrator rights to install DesignFiX and to perform the LiveUpdate! You may install DesignFiX on as many computers as you want and use it free of Charge.
UAC – Why must the LiveUpdate be confirmed under Windows® ?
User Account Control (UAC), is a technology and security infrastructure introduced with Microsoft Windows Vista® / Windows 7®.
Its aim is to protect the system for the standard user.
When a LiveUpdate has been performed, Windows® detects the attempt of file changes and warns for reasons of safety and asks for your confirmation.
After confirmation, the LiveUpdate is started with advanced user rights automatically again. UAC was implemented to increase the safety of the systems. This is particularly true for web pages that represent a potential security risk.
Note: We recommend not to de-activate UAC in Windows®!
Otherwise you avoid a useful security setting! Further information to UAC.
What about Windows XP® ?
Windows XP® is no longer supported by Microsoft!
Here you will find an overview of the Microsoft Lifecycle-Information.
In most cases DesignFiX can be installed under Windows XP®.
However, we cannot offer a hotline for this outdated operating system.
