Vista problem with Run()

[Noob]

In Windows XP the following worked just fine:

run("osk.exe")

However, in Windows Vista I receive the following AutoIt Error:

Line 3 (File "C:\Users\Marvin\Desktop\osk.au3"):

run("osk.exe")

Error: Unable to execute the external program.

The requested operation requires elevation.

When I use ShellExecute("osk.exe") instead of Run("osk.exe"), the application (Windows On Screen Keyboard) starts, but I also need the PID, that's why I need the Run() function.

Any help would be grately appreciated.

$username = InputBox("Username","Username:","","")

$password = InputBox("Password","Password:","","*")

RunAsSet($username,@ComputerName,$password)

Run("osk.exe")

RunAsSet()

Thanks, but I don't want users to have to enter user name and posword each time the application wants to start OSK :-(

This is a freeware used by many :-(

It worked OK under XP, but now I'm trying to make it work under Vista - this is my last issue.

Vista is a pile of crap.

Hola, noob!

This may be a klunky work-around, but would this work for you?

run("osk.exe")
WinWait( "On-Screen Keyboard" )
$pid = WinGetProcess( "On-Screen Keyboard" )
ConsoleWrite( $pid  & @CRLF)

zfisherdrums, thanks, that would normally work, but not in my specific case. My app also lets users select the path to their own (3rd party) OSK program and I wouldn't know the name of the window of that program. So at this point I'm giving up on this for the time being, and I decided to drop one feature from my application for Vista users. I may revisit this issue at some later date (if users ask for the missing feature).

Is keeform compatiable with Visa, if so how make it work. It worked fine when I was using XP. Now I have Vista and I cannot get Keeform to work with keepass. I copied the two required files into the Keepass folder and have modified the ini file to read KeeOverride=cmd://Keeform "{URL}" "{USERNAME}" "{PASSWORD}" any suggestions. Thanks jeff

I reiterate Weapon's awsome truth.
