Run swap as administrator? about nw-autoupdater HOT 5 OPEN

You do not need admin permissions for swap. Swap takes files from TMP (given you specified a directory accessible to the user) and replaces corresponding ones in the app. But according to your error message, seems like it's symlink issue reported in #6, which not yet resolved.

@dsheiko - Thanks for the response.

My error is in Windows (not mac) and the permission issue is not in the TEMP directory but in the installation directory (under Program Files). I can verify that it's solved by running the exe at the TEMP directory as admin.

I don't think it has anything to do with the symlink issue.

I tested the process on a MAC and it fails with ERROR: LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed for the application code -10810 - not sure why is that (might be also a permission issue, or maybe something wrong with the process which makes it exit with an exit code greater than 0).

@dsheiko - About the MAC issue, I've made some tests and it seems that if I use exec instead of spawn it manages to open the app. Do you have any explanation?
If that makes sense I'll create a PR for this.

But I use spawn to create a detached process. If you try to replace your app on a child of the same process, it will report files are locked

I managed to run the process with my fork using exec on MAC.. It just didn't work with spawn.

If you have any idea what the cause of the issue with spawn is I'll be glad to use a better solution for it.
