Question
Saturday, January 30, 2010 12:39 AM
Hi,
I'm trying to start a different application from my vb project, I'm using this code:
Process.Start(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "\programtostart.exe")
This works perfectly, but I need the application to be started with administrator rights, how can I do this?
Its because its an install program.
I also need it to be functional on XP, Vista and 7.
Thanks!

Try this
Dim process As System.Diagnostics.Process = Nothing
Dim processStartInfo As System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
processStartInfo = New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo()
processStartInfo.FileName = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "\programtostart.exe"
processStartInfo.Verb = "runas"
processStartInfo.Arguments = ""
processStartInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Normal
processStartInfo.UseShellExecute = True
process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(processStartInfo)

If that what you want, take it. If not, ignored it and no complain

Thanks kaymaf,
I haven't tested that code yet, but how does it work? Which part refers to adminstrator rights? :)

The line below is the same as when you right click your program from windows explorer and click Run as Administrator
processStartInfo.Verb = "runas"

Thanks! That sounds great!
Just one more thing, how do I check that the process is running with admin rights?
Is there any way I can tell?

Im not sure if there is way to detect a particular process running with administrator rights but you can check if the current user is a administrator or a member of administrators group. This link have sample code http://blogs.msdn.com/jaredpar/archive/2007/08/01/detecting-if-you-are-an-admin.aspx

Dont judge people based on question they asked.

Why become so overhitted when I show a link which warns us to keep an eye on malicious code.
Do yo feel guilty somehow?
When I don't understand a question, I don't reply on it.
Mostly I mark than an answer as helpful if there is an answer that makes it me understand.

Is OP ever asked for malicious code? The answer is NO. So your ignorant assumption is dead wrong, I have seen this kind of question in many forums on the web, what i can tell you is that, if you don't understand a question, just back off the thread because judging someone based on a question that you have no clue about is an ignorant.

Thankyou kaymaf. you're exactly right :)
Cor seems to have a habit of posting unhelpful replies, at least what I've seen anyway.
Thanks for the help!

I use this code to install services. I check the OS version before use the "runas"
Dim RunSvc As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(PathFile)
RunSvc.Arguments = "-install"
RunSvc.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Normal
If System.Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major >= 6 Then RunSvc.Verb = "runas"
Dim ServiceProcess As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(RunSvc)
Do Until ServiceProcess.HasExited = True
Me.UseWaitCursor = True
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
Me.lblSvcStatus.Text = "Installing..."
Application.DoEvents()
Loop
