[Interest] Visual Studio addin and lupdate

[Graham Labdon]

It seems that the option to update all ts files in the project does not work, I am able to update the files individually from within the addin

A shot in the dark: lupdate.exe might be considered by Windows User Access Control (UAC) as an 'installer' (it has 'update' in its name, right)? And therefore require administrative privileges. I think we actually fixed that a long time ago (Qt 4.7?) by embedding a manifest file explicitly declaring that it's _not_ an installer, but that doesn't work e.g. for the MinGW version. Or you're using an even older Qt version ...

You can easily check whether that's the issue by launching the lupdate.exe from the command line. Does it print anything, or bring up the UAC nagging screen?
