#1771 closed Bug (Wont Fix)

Run*() failure for Elevated Processes with UAC

Reported by: Ascend4nt Owned by:
Milestone: Component: AutoIt
Version: 3.3.6.1 Severity: None
Keywords: Run UAC Elevated Process CreateProcess failure Cc:

Description

With Windows Vista+, when UAC is turned on, 'CreateProcess' will fail to run processes that require the user to interact with a UAC box.

For example, Run('regedit.exe') will fail, but ShellExecute('regedit.exe') will succeed.

The reason for this is explained @ MSDN here:
​http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722422%28WS.10%29.aspx

It doesn't look like there is any easy workaround other than to use ShellExecute()? If that is so, perhaps this can be added to the AutoIt Help file? It would have saved me some time =)

Thanks

I may address this in the future in a sensible way so I'm leaving the ticket open.
