问题 I want to start a child process (indeed the same, console app) with elevated privileges but with hidden window. I do next: var info = new ProcessStartInfo(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location) { UseShellExecute = true, // !

问题 I recently updated my Visual Basic 6.0 application and now include an exe.manifest file to prevent UAC Virtualization. After applying this update, some users can\'t find their data files (Access MDB files) and after a system search they end up finding it in C:\\Users\\<username>AppData\\Local\\VirtualStore\\Program Files(x86) . What is this folder area for and how/when do files get moved to this area? How do we prevent it? I\'m hoping now that my application uses a .manifest this won\'t

问题 I\'m building an MSI installer for windows and sign the installer using signtool. When I run the .msi to test it, the UAC (User Account Control) prompt shows up to ask me if I want to allow the installation to proceed. That\'s fine, but the prompt shows a number of fields, and for the Program Name field it displays something like \"403b3.msi\". This is not the name of the msi I\'m running. How can I get the correct Program Name to be displayed? 回答1: Use the /d command line argument with the

问题 Win 7/UAC is driving me crazy. From within my C++ application, I need to run an executable that requires elevation on Windows 7. I want to fire this thing off and wait for it to finish before proceeding. What\'s the easiest way to do this? I normally do this kind of thing via CreateProcess() , but it fails for executables that require elevation. I tried running using cmd.exe /c ... through CreateProcess , which works but pops up an ugly cmd terminal window. I am reading that ShellExecute()

问题 I created my own parental control app to monitor my kids activity. The app\'s only GUI is a task bar icon. The program is installed as admin. I\'d like this program to be started up automatically as admin user on Windows startup, so that standard users cannot kill it from task manager.

Make Inno Setup installer request privileges elevation only when needed

由 ∥☆過路亽．° 提交于 2019-11-26 04:36:22
Inno Setup installer has the PrivilegesRequired directive that can be used to control, if privileges elevation is required, when installer is starting. I want my installer to work even for non-admin users (no problem about installing my app to user folder, instead of the Program Files ). So I set the PrivilegesRequired to none (undocumented value). This makes UAC prompt popup for admin users only, so they can install even to the Program Files . No UAC prompt for non-admin users, so even them can install the application (to user folder). This has some drawbacks though: Some people use distinct
