Hi! Since I don't use elevation within my systray application, I don't have any problem with tray shut-down on uninstall. However, AFAIK on Vista, a process with lower-level privilege cannot: a) Perform a window handle validation of higher process privilege. b) Use the SendMessage or PostMessage APIs to manipulate higher privilege application windows. The APIs return successfully but silently remove the Windows message. c) ...
I think you are facing the problem described within b). In this case, you should use the ChangeWindowMessageFilter function within the elevated process to explicitly allow a process with lower integrity level (uninstaller) to post a message to it. I think a call to something like ChangeWindowMessageFilter( WM_CLOSE, MSGFLT_ADD ); within your systray application should do. Some more details can be found at http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/e6be149b-e391-48a4-bebe-d8b5ca5d01311033.mspx?mfr=true Please note that I didn't try this.... so please let me know if it will work for you. Btw., be aware of the fact that ChangeWindowMessageFilter function is only defined on Vista so if your systray is supposed to run on Windows XP for example, keep this in mind.
