Does anyone have a working patch.exe on Vista ? There's actually nothing wrong with the patch.exe files. The problem is that Vista won't let me run any executable whose name =~ m/patch/i without first getting my Administrator password. Vista doesn't care what the file actually does - it just decides that any executable whose name =~ m/patch/i needs admin privileges to run, and that it can't be run from the command line. (This of course means that I can rename patch.exe to, say, othername.exe, and I can then run it fine - but I have to run it as 'othername', not 'patch'.) Despite the fact that this is a great and wondrous innovation on the part of Microsoft (I bet Linux wish they'd thought of it first), I would like to remove this behaviour. Anyone know how to do that ? Cheers, Rob Cheers, Rob ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

Cheers, Rob ## You should be able to run it from the command line once you have a command window up that has already passed the password test. i.e. Right click on the command icon (mine is in the start menu) and choose Run as Administrator.

Despite the fact that this is a great and wondrous innovation on the part of Microsoft (I bet Linux wish they'd thought of it first), I would like to remove this behaviour. Anyone know how to do that ? Did you try to create a patch.exe.manifest file in the same directory as patch.exe that request to run asInvoker? Just gave it a try now - but no luck. I get a pop-up telling me that The requested operation requires elevation. If this doesn't work, download the ACT (Application Compatibility Toolkit) from Microsoft and try to apply a runAsInvoker shim to the executable. There may also be a location in the registry to specify the requested execution level. I'll pursue that at some stage. For the moment I'll just rename 'patch.exe' to 'patsh.exe' - which works fine. When I first posted about this I didn't realize that a rename would work. I had tried renaming the file to 'my_patch.exe', but when the problem persisted I thought there must be more to it than a simple rename. It didn't occur to me at that time that the filename must !~ m/patch/i. I also tried out Jack's suggestion involving Run as administrator, but couldn't get anywhere with that either.
