When not being local administrator, and running "BrowserSelector --register", the application does not provide any output, but All Control Panel Items -> Default Programs -> "Set Your Default Programs" does not list "BrowserSelector" as a default program, therefore does not work.

Expected behaviour: provide clear error message when running "BrowserSelector --register", for example when registry entry cannot be created.

Thanks for the debugging! 👍

I think the registry writes get redirected for non-Admins, and I can't find a way to register the browser this way. I've made a change that will automatically prompt to elevate if you run normally. This is in 0.2.0.0 which you can grab from the releases page.
