问题
I know how to launch a process with Admin privileges from a process using:
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
proc.StartInfo.Verb = \"runas\";
where proc is a System.Diagnostics.Process. But how does one do the opposite?
If the process you\'re in is already elevated, how do you launch the new process without admin privileges? More accurately, we need to launch the new process with the same permission level as Windows Explorer, so no change if UAC is disabled, but if UAC is enabled, but our process is running elevated, we need to perform a certain operation un-elevated because we\'re creating a virtual drive and if it\'s created with elevated permissions and Windows explorer is running unelevated it won\'t show up.
Feel free to change the title to something better, I couldn\'t come up with a good description.
回答1:
The solution for you is to use EXPLORER.exe process.
The idea is to run the process in UN-ELEVATED mode, using windows's file explorer process explorer.exe (info).
Lets say the process that we want to launch is on $TEMP\MyUnElevatedProcess.exe.
So, for NSIS code, I will just write: (but can be run in ANY language)
Exec '"$WINDIR\explorer.exe" "$TEMP\MyUnElevatedProcess.exe"'
Example code (using NSIS installer)
Exec '"$WINDIR\explorer.exe" "$TEMP\MyUnElevatedProcess.exe"'

We ended up using the sample from this Code Project article: High elevation can be bad for your application: How to start a non-elevated process at the end of the installation
It seems to work so far, I gather it injects into RunDll32.exe, my C++/Win32 is fairly weak so I didn't look too much into the actual implementation, just it's use. Confirmed that it works in Vista and Win7 both x86 and x64 (at least for us, x86 and x64 require different dll's which is checked for at install time and the proper one is used).

If you want to start an unelevated process from an elevated one you could copy the access token of the shell process and use it to start a new process.
public static class UnelevatedProcessStarter
{
public static void Start(string cmdArgs)
{
// 1. Get the shell
var shell = NativeMethods.GetShellWindow();
if (shell == IntPtr.Zero)
{
throw new Exception("Could not find shell window");
}
// 2. Copy the access token of the process
NativeMethods.GetWindowThreadProcessId(shell, out uint shellProcessId);
var hShellProcess = NativeMethods.OpenProcess(0x00000400 /* QueryInformation */, false, (int)shellProcessId);
if (!NativeMethods.OpenProcessToken(hShellProcess, 2 /* TOKEN_DUPLICATE */, out IntPtr hShellToken))
{
throw new Win32Exception();
}
// 3. Dublicate the acess token
uint tokenAccess = 8 /*TOKEN_QUERY*/ | 1 /*TOKEN_ASSIGN_PRIMARY*/ | 2 /*TOKEN_DUPLICATE*/ | 0x80 /*TOKEN_ADJUST_DEFAULT*/ | 0x100 /*TOKEN_ADJUST_SESSIONID*/;
var securityAttributes = new SecurityAttributes();
NativeMethods.DuplicateTokenEx(
hShellToken,
tokenAccess,
ref securityAttributes,
2 /* SecurityImpersonation */,
1 /* TokenPrimary */,
out IntPtr hToken);
// 4. Create a new process with the copied token
var si = new Startupinfo();
si.cb = Marshal.SizeOf(si);
if (!NativeMethods.CreateProcessWithTokenW(
hToken,
0x00000002 /* LogonNetcredentialsOnly */,
null,
cmdArgs,
0x00000010 /* CreateNewConsole */,
IntPtr.Zero,
null,
ref si,
out ProcessInformation _))

throw new Win32Exception();

Raymond Chen addressed this in his blog:
How can I launch an unelevated process from my elevated process and vice versa?
Searching in GitHub for a C# version of this code, I found the following implementation in Microsoft's Node.js tools for Visual Studio repository: SystemUtilities.cs (the ExecuteProcessUnElevated function).
Just in case the file disappears, here's the file's contents:

You can use ProcessStartInfo.UserName and ProcessStartInfo.Password to specify the account you want your process to run under.
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var psi = new ProcessStartInfo(@"c:\windows\system32\whoami.exe");
var password = new SecureString();
password.AppendChar('s');
password.AppendChar('e');
password.AppendChar('c');
password.AppendChar('r');
password.AppendChar('e');
password.AppendChar('t');
psi.Password = password;
psi.UserName = "username";
psi.UseShellExecute = false;
psi.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
var p = new Process();
p.StartInfo = psi;
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
Console.WriteLine(p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
}
}
