_RunDos and netsh Vista

[Srv]

Hi,

I'm trying to do this on a Vista box:

#RequireAdmin
#include <Process.au3>; Used by _RunDOS
$rc = _RunDOS("netsh firewall add portopening UDP 4500 ""UDP port 4500""")

Works fine on WinXP but in Vista it just doesn't dispite the fact that I'm using

#RequireAdmin

Any help is greatly appreciated!

TIA

not quite sure what requireadmin does but try not using it?

RequireAdmin prompts for UAC in Vista and is necessary to use to elevate privileges on Vista. See "AutoIT on Windows Vista" in bundle help file.

I found Windows Vista scritp elevation powertoys from Microsoft. Two files can be used to elevate privileges in Vista:

Download and extract: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/d...lity2007_06.exe

elevate.cmd

elevate.vbs

Usage: elevate.cmd notepad.exe

So I thought I'd use the MS powertoy for elevating privileges...

Run(@ComSpec & " /C " & @ScriptDir & '\elevate.cmd Firewall.bat', "", @SW_HIDE); The batch file that configures Windows Firewall on XP and Vista

Even though I'm using @SW_HIDE, the Firewall.bat is not hidden. I can't seem to find the correct syntax for using "Start /MIN"

Maybe I'm just a newb ;o)

TIA

Nevermind my above reply...

It was too easy to fix.

Syntax for ShellExecute:

So I edited the elevate.vbs to do this:

objShell.ShellExecute strApplication, strArguments, "", "runas", 2

I simply added "2" which minimizes the window as you can read in the above MS website.
