Kerros Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hello I'm working with Windows 8 and have an issue that is causing my eye to twitch. When debugging scripts I use the console write within SciTE (Full Version) to output a fair number of parameters so the script doesn't have to stop working. This functionality seems to be non-working within Windows 8, everything works as expected under Windows 7 and XP. When I run this example script, expandcollapse popup#include<Constants.au3> ;#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_requestedExecutionLevel=RequireAdministrator ;#RequireAdmin Local $DriveHandle = OpenDrive(0) ConsoleWrite($DriveHandle & @CRLF) MsgBox(64, 'Return From OpenDrive', $DriveHandle) CloseDrive($DriveHandle) Func OpenDrive($driveNum) Local $vDrive ;Get handle to drive $vDrive = DllCall( _ "kernel32.dll", "hwnd", _ "CreateFile", _ "str", "\\.\PhysicalDrive" & String($driveNum), _ "dword", BitOR($GENERIC_READ, $GENERIC_WRITE), _ "dword", BitOR($FILE_SHARE_READ, $FILE_SHARE_WRITE), _ "ptr", 0, _ "dword", $OPEN_EXISTING, _ "dword", 0, _ "ptr", 0 _ ) If @error <> 0 Then MsgBox(1, "EXITING...", "CreateFile DLLCall failed!") Exit EndIf Return $vDrive[0] EndFunc ;==>OpenDrive Func CloseDrive($vDrive) Local $rVal = DllCall("kernel32.dll", "int", "CloseHandle", "hwnd", $vDrive) If @error Then Return SetError(-1, -1, 0) Return $rVal[0] EndFunc ;==>CloseDrive It will return 0xFFFFFFFF, an invalid handle. If I uncomment #RequireAdmin I will get a valid handle, but I get no text written to the console. Using #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_requestedExecutionLevel=RequireAdministrator results in an invalid handle as well. I had also tried running the _WINAPI_CreateFile function, but it is resulting in the same issue. Is there a fix, or workaround that would allow me to use the #RequreAdmin systemcall but still get output to the console?

BrewManNH Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 When you run your script using #RequireAdmin it closes the script and reopens it under the Administrator's credentials. You'll notice in the Scite console that the script will end very quickly and then you get nothing further in Scite because of this. There's no work around that I've seen other than maybe starting Scite as an admin first, haven't tried it in a while so I'm not sure if it will work. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Kerros Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks for the tip, it was the case that I needed to open SciTE with admin. That will work for me, Thanks Kerros Kerros===============================================================How to learn scripting: Figure out enough to be dangerous, then ask for assistance.
