Description
This task will open the current BES Client Log file in LogExpert with highlighting. Requires .NET 3.5 to be installed.
This only worked for admin users for some reason, even when being run from a temp folder the current user can read, and when the current user has read access to the log files. Seems to be related to the runascurrentuser. (as tested on Windows 10)
