Code:
If Not autorunning Then
ShellExecute 0, "Open", App.Path & "\autosend.exe", "", "", 0when i run the above shellexcute, the file appears in the details section of task manager, but not in the background processes, i also tried using shell in place of shell execute
if i change the UAC virtualization to disabled in task manager , then the program will work
when i double click in explorer or from a startup shortcut (the norm) the process starts as a background process and is also in the details tab, all works correctly
i tried adding a manifest to the exe,
Quote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
name="IsUserAdmin"
type="win32"/>
<description>Description of your application</description>
<!-- Identify the application security requirements. -->
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel
level="asInvoker"
uiAccess="false"/>
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>
when started with shellexecute UAC virtulization shows as enabled and changing it now does nothing to make the process work
quite possibly the manifest is incorrect, i am not well practiced with manifests, there was no manifest prior to adding the above
in case it has any bearing the application has no user interface, just runs as a background process, i can restart the program, from a shortcut, but not programmically
