Windows support
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
Hostmanager will detect Windows guests and hosts and use the appropriate
|
||||
path for the ```hosts``` file: ```%WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts```
|
||||
|
||||
By default on a Windows host, the ```hosts``` file is not writable without
|
||||
elevated privileges. If hostmanager detects that it cannot overwrite the file,
|
||||
it will attempt to do so with elevated privileges, causing the
|
||||
[UAC](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control) prompt to appear.
|
||||
|
||||
### UAC limitations
|
||||
|
||||
Due to limitations caused by UAC, cancelling out of the UAC prompt will not cause any
|
||||
visible errors, however the ```hosts``` file will not be updated.
