jim191 6 discussion posts	Hello. I want to use Traystatus without installing it. So I want to use the zip version. However, there is a warning that: Code Copy Select All Toggle Line Wrapping This no-installer version is ONLY for people interested in testing TrayStatus TrayStatus should be installed using the 'Download Installer Now' button above to work 100% correctly My question is: what exactly doesn't work correctly in the non-installer version as compared to the installed version? Thank you. Aug 30, 2019 • #1
	If TrayStatus isn't installed it can't run with uiAccess which can prevent it from reading data that it needs to function. You should be fine with the basic features though. Aug 30, 2019 • #2
jim191 6 discussion posts	Thanks for your reply Jon. What features in particular use uiAccess? Aug 30, 2019 • #3
	Trigger rules, and the double-click tray icon to change key state won't work if an elevated window (e.g. regedit) is focused. Otherwise, everything else should function correctly Sep 4, 2019 • #4
