Re: Win32::Process::Create with elevated privileges on Windows 7

in reply to Win32::Process::Create with elevated privileges on Windows 7

your problem is with "windows 7 UAC enabled". The fact is you can have the admin rights its just windows 7 needs to know "Windows Explorer" is open so UAC can link up with your admin rights to make it run.

But there are big problems with using UAC in windows 7 with Perl and one thing is if your program spits out a file it made and your in another folder with "Windows Explorer" the file will be copy'ed to the folder your currently viewing instead.

Pure Fact: Perl works best on *nix systems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If find it ironic that the same people who espouse that the unix shells (which one?) is what makes nix superior to Windows, also tend to be the ones that claim that Perl works best on nix. Ironic because Perl's original raison d'etre was to work around the complexities and deficiencies of those nix shells. Which means that if the Windows shells are even more limited than the nix ones, Perl is even more useful there.
