[python-win32] Understanding "Access Denied" when calling win32process.TerminateProcess() from Run As Administrator prompt
When running from a *"Run As Administrator"* prompt on Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit, my Top-level python script spawns a process (which is another python script) using os.spawnv( ) When the top-level script ends, it attemps to call win32process.TerminateProcess() with the handle that was created during the os.spawnv() call. win32process.TerminateProcess(self._handle, exitCode) pywintypes.error: (5, 'TerminateProcess', 'Access is denied.') is displayed. This runs on Windows XP just fine. Obviusly, Windows 7 is more stringent with security concerns. We use Python 2.3, so subprocess and multiprocess are not available. I don't understand why this is an issue when running from the "Run As Administrator" prompt. Are there any other workarounds- until we migrate to Python 2.7?

Hi! "Run As Administrator" prompt on Windows 7 has several oddities. e.g. if you have mapped disks (on LAN), try to doDIR R:with command-line "As Administrator" and "As User" ...and you the problem. @-salutations -- Michel Claveau - Original Message - From: Tony Cappellini To: python-win32@python.org Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 9:03 PM Subject: [python-win32] Understanding "Access Denied" when calling win32process.TerminateProcess() from Run As Administrator prompt When running from a "Run As Administrator" prompt on Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit, my Top-level python script spawns a process (which is another python script) using os.spawnv( ) When the top-level script ends, it attemps to call win32process.TerminateProcess() with the handle that was created during the os.spawnv() call. win32process.TerminateProcess(self._handle, exitCode) pywintypes.error: (5, 'TerminateProcess', 'Access is denied.') is displayed.
