Hello,
I have a python program that needs to launch an executable (it is an
installer executable) that requires admin privileges. This works fine
on XP and Vista machines where UAC is turned off. On Vista machines
with UAC on, however, it doesn't appear to allow the program to launch
the executable.
I currently use win32process.CreateProcess() to launch the executable.
Does anyone know of a way I can launch the executable with UAC on?
Ideally, it should prompt the user to run the executable in elevated mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The only way I'm aware of is to use ShellExecute[Ex] with the 'runas' verb.
Cheers,
Mark
