No investigation needed, it's pretty much by design in place of a "hack" we used in the previous version. Here is what is going on.  The quick answer is that you need to use ShellExecute() instead. There are two ways to launch a program in Windows: CreateProcess (which we wrap up using Run()) and ShellExecute(which we wrap up using ShellExecute()).  Executables (general executables, nothing to do with AutoIt) have a manifest section added to a resource which says the level they should run at. Typically this is asInvoker (runs as a user) or requireAdministrator (wants to run as admin). The weird part is when we are running as user (by default with UAC) and we CreateProcess a file that is tagged with requireAdministrator the OS actually fails and returns a "can't run, this needs elevation" error code. CreateProcess (Run()) cannot execute a process in such a way that it moves from a user to administrator level.  Try it on other "admin" executables and they will all fail in the same way. ShellExecute() on the other hand is the way that most things are launched in windows.  Double click a file, double click a file extension. Type in a file extension in cmd.exe, etc.  This does have elevation code in it and it is the place where you get the UAC prompt.  Going through this ShellExecute+UAC code is the only way to elevate. Run/ShellExecute have different features, especially around capturing process IDs, and ShellExecute was a later addition to AutoIt so we've all gotten in the habit of using Run all the time. The default function to use would be ShellExecute really. So how come this used to work in 3.3.8.1?  Well in the beta #requireadmin causes the compiled exe to have a proper manifest resource.  This means it acts completely like a normal exe - this is a much better solution. But in 3.3.8.1 we didn't have the facility to properly write the manifest file so we tagged all files as "asInvoker".  Then when the compiled exe ran the first thing that happened is that we detected that the script contained #requireAdmin and then silently reran itself using ShellExecute.  So it looked that you ran the script once, but it actually ran twice. You see this sort of thing in a number of Windows programs like Disk CleanUp. By default it is manifested "asInvoker" and runs as a user, but then you can click a button to "clean up system files" and it vanishes for a second before working - this is because it's doing a similar rerun trick. You might ask why can't I leave the new proper manifest behaviour in and put the rerun hack back in. Well, think about it for a second and you'll see why.  (Edit: actually there is a sort of workaround by decoupling #requireadmin and #pragma compile but I'm not sure it would be too confusing)

This is not supported by Jos (who is the author of AutoIt3Wrapper) so please keep both his thread and my thread on topic. Thanks. This script will convert AutoIt3Wrapper directives into valid pragma directives. There is also an option to overwrite the script with the new directives so you don't have to. What could be easier! If you need more help on how to use, then please don't hesitate to ask. AutoIt3WrapperToPragma.zip Note: This doesn't replace all directives. AutoIt3Wrapper is still a valuable tool and offers additional directives that pragma doesn't support at present. This is the old version. I have left it here so you can do a source code comparison of how much of the code I actually changed. [OLD STYLE] AutoIt3WrapperToPragma.zip

FireFox, I am not getting that in my tests. Look at line 130 and you will see how I check for VERSION resource changes. jaberwocky6669,

Reading through this thread I guess you are not. This thread is closed and opening another one on the same topic will urn you some naughty spot time. *Click*

I hope you are joking ....right?

jiks, As I have explained, we do not provide working code as a freebie - and certainly not for anything as complicated as you say you "need". We expect you to make an effort and start to learn how to code in AutoIt, then we will help you as much as we can. So it is up to you to make an effort now. M23

jiks, I see lots of "I need" in your posts. We do not write code to order - we help you get your code working correctly. Think of the old saying: "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; give a man a net and you feed him forever". We try to be net makers and repairers, not fishmongers. So I suggest that you start by reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) - this will help you enormously. You should also look at this excellent tutorial - you will find other tutorials in the Wiki (the link is at the top of the page). There are even video tutorials on YouTube if you prefer watching to reading. Once you have a good idea of how Autoit works then you can try and produce some code yourself - we will then be delighted to help you getting over any difficulties you encounter. So please - no more "I need" posts from you - clear? M23

When using Not, wrap the expression in parenthesese e.g. Not (This == Something). There was a topic about this last week.

hi jiks have a look to this link (_TalkOBJ), it may be a first step for the "talking" part http://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Snippets_%28_AutoIt_Audio_%29#TalkOBJ
