[BUG] Child processes won't elevate #488

Closed DailenG closed 1 year ago

DailenG commented 1 year ago

Discussed in https://github.com/Hofknecht/SystemTrayMenu/discussions/487

Originally posted by **DailenG** June 16, 2023 I'm running System Tray Menu on a user with no admin privileges and using shortcuts that launch chocolatey to install an application. I have SystemTrayMenu running with elevated privileges, I have chocolatey set to always run with admin privileges, but if I launch a shortcut from System Tray Menu it launches without elevation or prompting for elevation (either is ok). If I launch the shortcut directly it will prompt for elevation. Am I doing something wrong or is there a workaround? I'm not sure how to get it to prompt aside from using a third party like gsudo to induce elevation.

@DailenG Thank you for the feedback!

i need to test with user without admin rights

Normally UAC should work like here with Admin user: 1 2

@DailenG

ok now with normal user i can reproduce. found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16926232/run-process-as-administrator-from-a-non-admin-application and with the change Verb = "runas", it works

@DailenG will be in the next version (but i assume this takes a while), we added you to the thanks section : )

Hofknecht commented 1 year ago

when admin privliges then process does not start when using verb "runas" checks for Admin not working so still open topic we need to revert current change

@topeterk
The first solution was bad. Now there is a new one [1.3.2.6], hope this works fine.
