For further details Understanding and Configuring User Account Control in Windows Vista, see: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709628(WS.10).aspx VDI operations used to restore the DCR are only local to the server instance. Restore operations to SQL Server instances from remote clients are not supported. Therefore, the server instance supplied on the DCR dialog must be local. Also, right click the EXE and selecting Run As Administrator.
