Administrator Elevation Prompt VISTA And ActiveX EXE
Oct 27, 2009
I have an ActiveX EXE that is compiled with VB6, unfortunately because it exposes an ActiveX interface it refuses to run unless i embedd a manifest file into it requesting elevation priviliges of administrator.This in turn has the side effect of VISTA prompting the user to logon as administrator each time they run the application.The admin on site has already refused to disable UAC.Is there any way for either our application or the administrator to auto-elevate the program on the domain?

I have this problem where is wont let me create and files through the command prompt via echo xxx> C:xxx in Visual Basic. If I do it sepoaratly and run the command prompt as admin (This is not using vb at all) then it will work. I have tried putting my vb app to require previlidges at both levels at different times, not at once, and I still got the same thing.So is there a way I can use the comman prompt through vb, but also making the command prompt being an admin without turning off UAC?The code that will not work is this.
Shell(Environ$("Comspec") & " /c """ & WDir & "ToolsMediaInfoMediaInfo.exe"" --output=xml """ & WDir & "ToolsMediaInfoMediaInfo.xml""")

We have developed a 'deployment tool' (say program A) which need to modify system registry, etc info which requires admin rights. This program will be triggered by another program (say program B).
Question, when B call A, how can B initiate A with admin rights? is there any command like A.exe /runas admin or any other way to achieve this. Please note that both programs are developed using VB6.

I have a VB6 application which has been running succesfully for years under XP, however under Vista data loss has been observed.It appears that if the app is run 'as administrator' then it connects to the correct database file, however if the app. is not run as administrator then vista creates a copy of the database (no idea where) - hence I end up with 2 versions of the database.
In fact I can delete the database file entirely and the app. still works fine because vista is using it's own copy - the problem is how do I back up this 'vista copy' when I can't find it (search doesn't find it).

Our VB.NET application has a .NET dll, with a registered TLB file; so that VBA in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel can call into the application. The application functions correctly except when it is called into via MSO on Vista. This functions correctly on Windows XP machines but on Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines it is returning a 429 error. A reference to the TLB file can be assigned in the VBA References dialog box, on Vista.It doesn't appear to be a problem in our application as a simple Test libary does the same thing. Microsoft Applications have been 'Run As' Adminstrator, and Vista UAC is turned off, but I am thinking there is perhaps a security issue?

Every time I make a application and distribute it, Vista users always have to set it as "Run as Administrator" for it to work... Is there any way to make it to where they don't need to do this?

i currently have a project that needs to edit a few files in the startuppath folder. on a non administrator o.s., if my app. is installed in ( c:program filesmy crappy little app ), i cannot write to those files. in win7, it does not even ask for administrator approval, just the option to save to my documents.. this can be quite a hassle to work with, specially on closing the app, since i have quite a few files that need to be updated.

Has anyone managed to get administration rights through the UAC without restarting the application or embedding a manifest file?
I'd like to write to some files that only administrators can modify, without relying to another elevated application. Is it possible to impersonate an administrator previously calling with some native API the UAC prompt?
I guess this is not possible and I'll have to use an external tool with elevated rights, but I'm asking just in case.
EDIT: I know there are some other similar questions around, but since they do not cover the topic of impersonation (as fas as I've seen), nor some possible native call to the UAC prompt I decided to give a new thread a go...

I have an application that creates files at certain directories, deploys them and then removes them when neccessary. Under Windows Vista and 7, access for my program to carry out such commands are denied because UAC is blocking it.Now i am NOT using Visual Studio, i am using SharpDevelop and my project is a Windows Form. How can i prompt the user with the UAC dialogue so my application can acquire UAC elevation and carry out its tasks?I would also like to point out that everything works perfectly when UAC is either turned off or the user runs my program with Administrator Rights.

My work is, I have a DEM file and header file of it.Now, I want to display the elevation value from the DEM file of the given Longitude and Latitude.And, I worked on it before,Where I could get the elevation value with the resolution matrix of 6000x4800 and I can able to read the elevation value.But, now I want to modify in such a way that I should read the elevation values from the DEM file with the resolution matrix of 11x11.So, kindly guide me in getting the elevation value with resolution of 11x11 matrix.The code I have used before to display the elevation value with resolution of 6000x4800 are:

I need to display or get the elevation value of a given latitude and longitude from the DEM file in 11x11 matrix array.Actually I have a DEM file and corresponding HDR file of it.And, the DEM file is 6000x4800 Matrix with 57600000 data's.Now, I worked with some codes where I can able to get the elevation of a Given latitude and longitude.But, When I Zoom IN or OUT,the Latitude and Longitude values changes so,when I pass the changed latitude and Longitude value,I could not able to get the elevation value.The reason is,
In the 6000x4800 matrix the Resolution of the X and Y is large,so when we Zoom IN or OUT the resolution changes and could not display the elevation value.But, where as if we get the elevation values in 11x11 matrix array,since it has 121 data's only, the resolution value will be small and even when we Zoom IN or OUT and pass the changed Latitude and Longitude, we could able to get the elevation.[code]....

I have created a 2008 Visual Basic.NET application I'm using on Windows 7 that requires elevation. In myapplication I used the UAC manifest in VS 2008 to makere elevation. that works fine with a regular 2008 VB.NET form and will remember the form postion.On my application (really just a form) that requires elevation it will not save the position and always starts in the upper left of the screenDoes anyone know a way around this on an application created that requires elevation

I am been working on an a small app that has a Forms.Webbrowser control that navigates to a Adobe Flash program. I have developed the app on Vista 32bit platform and have had no problems. I have sent the app to a couple of people to test out and one is using Vista 64bit and is running into a problem. I know the webbrowser control just uses the underlying base framework of IE. The problem on the 64 bit machine is when the site is navigated to it says that it needs to have Flash installed. When the user goes to Adobe's site it says they need to use a 32bit browser.
As stated on Adobe site here:[URL] the Flash player need to be in a 32 bit browser. What options do I have to be able fix this problem? Is there another control that I can use that would be the same in a 32bit platform and 64bit platform? Besides navigating to the Flash program, the browser also goes to standard web pages.

I have an update app, which can be updated itself by another update app (so, the second app is an updater of the main updater). Both apps must have administrator permissions because of writing in the Program Files folder. Is it possible that when the main updater is running (under administrator rights) it can use Shell() to let the second updater run with administrator rights without a UAC confirm dialog popping up again?

I created a vb application and I'm trying to deploy it. However, it needs to be run as administrator, which is not ideal as several machines I'm deploying it to can't access the administrator account. The odd part is that the development environment isn't on an administrator account. When I double click the compiled executable it runs fine. When I right click and choose Run As Current User the program crashes and gives me the same error I got when trying it on the target machines(without access to the administrator account.)

I am developing an Excel workbook at work and I've got a problem. I'd like to save information entered in the workbook and save it in another one (called List, for example purposes), using a macro. The problem is that the file in which I want to save the information is located on a server. When people open List.xls, it's Read Only. So, when my macro executes, it opens a Read Only workbook...I'd like to do "Open As", just like you could do by right-clicking on any file in Windows XP. The result would be that the macro would log on as administrator only to open List.xls, write in it and save it under the same name.

I have a vb.net clickonce application that will be used by low-level personnel with no administrator accesses. However, the application itself needs to save files to a folder on the server that is hidden and only allows read/write access to administrators. I need for these users to be able to interact with this folder using the application without giving them the ability to browse to the folder on their own. I've tried using several impersonation techniques, none have worked.
