UniCreate 1.0.9

What's new in 1.0.9

UniCreate - Patch Notes v1.0.9

Date: 2026-05-13
Release tag: v1.0.9
Repository: drrakendu78/UniCreate

Highlights

• Auto-update no longer fails with os error 740 on non-admin sessions: UniCreate now restarts itself as administrator automatically before launching the updater. One-click update again works end to end.
• All updater error messages translated to English (previously some surfaced the localized Windows error text, e.g. "L'opération demandée nécessite une élévation").

Changes

• Fix — ERROR_ELEVATION_REQUIRED (740) on auto-update

• Windows installer-detection heuristic forces UAC elevation for any .exe whose name contains updater / setup / install. Launching UniCreate-Updater.exe from a non-admin process therefore fails with OS error 740, which the previous build surfaced as a cryptic toast.
• UniCreate now checks is_running_as_admin before triggering the updater. When the app is not elevated, it persists the pending download URL + filename in localStorage (unicreate-pending-update), calls a new restart_as_admin Tauri command, and resumes the install automatically once the app reboots with elevated privileges. A single UAC prompt now suffices — no need to manually relaunch the app as admin.

Impacted files:

• src-tauri/Cargo.toml (added is_elevated dependency on Windows)
• src-tauri/src/lib.rs (new is_running_as_admin and restart_as_admin Tauri commands)
• src-tauri/src/github.rs (start_silent_update now translates raw_os_error() == 740 into a clear English message)
• src/App.tsx (openUpdateAction checks admin first + resumes pending update on next boot)

• Updater error messages are now consistently in English

• The pre-existing English strings stay unchanged.
• The 740 case used to fall through to std::io::Error::Display, which Windows localizes (French users saw "L'opération demandée nécessite une élévation"). It now returns: *"Update requires administrator privileges. Please restart UniCreate as administrator and try again."*

Impacted files:

• src-tauri/src/github.rs

• Version bump

• App version updated to 1.0.9.
