Hi,
Was wondering if anybody could help..

I'm try to launch an application as an administrator from with inside my
application.
At first this appeared to be working, until I tried launching a different
application..

I am launching the application using the following command..

app = "test.exe";
CreateProcessWithLogonW( "Administrator",".", "password",
LOGON_WITH_PROFILE, app, null, 0, IntPtr.Zero, CurrentDirectory, ref si, out
pi) ;

The problem is that if run the same application via the command prompt with
runas.exe it works!!!!
Can see what I'm missing!!
Anybody got any ideas?
Are there any hidden flags for the LOGON flags..

Thanks

Hi,

Is "test.exe" in your executable's path. Here's (part of) the documentation
of the lpApplicationName parameter:

"The string can specify the full path and file name of the module to execute
or it can specify a partial name. In the case of a partial name, the
function uses the current drive and current directory to complete the
specification. The function will not use the search path."

Also, why don't you get the last error, or just throw "$ERR,hr" in the watch
window to see what's wrong?

HTH,
