Iron does not turn up with Default Applications (Windows7)

Thanks for the excellent effort in bringing us Iron.

For some reason, SRWare Iron does not turn up in the list of Deafault Applications (Start Menu-->Default Applications) in windows7. This makes it cumbersome to make Iron the default application for web browsing. Incidentally, Chrome appears in this list.

Could you fix this, please?

Did you run the installer as an admin? That helped a member here. It then gives you the option to choose Iron as your default browser.

Thanks for the reply. I did not realise the installer did not use admin privileges by default.

If it's not too much trouble, I'd suggest you make the installer use admin privileges by default, so that Iron get the proper permissions to register with the Default Applications interface. This interface is where any normal user would change their browser.
