So im using the application updater that CodenStuff made, but the updater needs admin permissions to complete the update.

So the question is, how do i start another app as adminstrator from my vb app?

thanks.

I think that running app in-code isn't possible since it would be security brench..

Try using:

Code: Select all

Dim p As New Process()
p.StartInfo.Verb = "runas"

Try using:

Code: Select all

Dim p As New Process()
p.StartInfo.Verb = "runas"

and i should replace runas with the path of the application i want to run as admin?

If you open your updater project files in vs2010 then go to My Project -> Application and click on "View Windows Settings".
Then replace:

Code: Select all

level="asInvoker"

with:

Code: Select all

level="requireAdministrator"

Then if you startup your Updater with process.start it should ask for an Administrator password.

Yeah, i've known of that for a long time, and i have done it do the updater but it still wont start as adminstrator.

You can do it through the program itself where it will start up even if you dont do that.

How exactly would I do that?
