_IEAttach problem on Vista

[magus]

This script ONLY works on my computer (running 32-bit Vista) if I REMOVE #RequireAdmin...

#include <IE.au3>
#RequireAdmin

ShellExecute("iexplore.exe", "http://www.google.com")
WinWait("Google")

Sleep(1000)

$x = _IEAttach("Google")
_IEQuit($x)

What happens if you don't?

What happens if you don't?

If I leave #RequireAdmin in the script, it does not close the IE window. It doesn't give me an error either. So it seems to give $x some kind of object variable, but the IE functions can't seem to do anything with that variable.

PS I've used #RequireAdmin in many scripts using many other IE.au3 functions, and they still work fine. I only have problems with _IEAttach

So if _IEAttach writes nothing to the SciTe console and _IEQuit doesn't either, then both functions think they have been successful.

You need to figure out more about your $x... use ObjName, use _IEPropertyGet to try to figure out what it is. I recently blew away my Vista VM, so I can't easily test.
