I tried to run below code in VS-2017 and Win-10.

What I have tried:

C#

System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
            System.Security.SecureString ssPwd = new System.Security.SecureString();
            proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
            proc.StartInfo.Verb = "runas";
            proc.StartInfo.FileName = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(@"C:\Users\ABC\Downloads\"), "ccsetup567.exe"); ;
            proc.StartInfo.UserName = "Admin";
            string password = "admin";
            for (int x = 0; x < password.Length; x++)
            {
                ssPwd.AppendChar(password[x]);
            }
            password = "";
            proc.StartInfo.Password = ssPwd;
            proc.Start();

Solution 3

The documentation explains it:

Quote:
Note

This class contains a link demand and an inheritance demand at the class level that applies to all members. A SecurityException is thrown when either the immediate caller or the derived class does not have full-trust permission. For details about security demands, see Link Demands.

So you need to run with admin privilege.

I run that with Admin user name and password. But still it is not working.

Richard MacCutchan 28-Jul-20 5:24am

I think the program may need to have elevated privilege set in its manifest.

SunnyGajjar14 28-Jul-20 5:38am

That's also I applied but when I run for stand user at that time I need to run as admin that I don't want to do

Well you have no choice, that is how Windows works.

A quick look around, I learnt that Verb is only recognized when UseShellExecute = true. So, try with option:

C#

UseShellExecute = true

The Process object must have the UseShellExecute property set to false in order to start a process as a user.'

Sandeep Mewara 28-Jul-20 3:42am

What does that mean? Your code is to start it as admin.

Sandeep Mewara 28-Jul-20 3:46am

Elevated priviledges doesnt work with UseShellExecute=false

Quote:
ProcessStartInfo.Verb will only have an effect if the process is started by ShellExecuteEx(). Which requires UseShellExecute = true.

SunnyGajjar14 28-Jul-20 3:49am

No, it is not start as admin. I need that when Stander user run this code Admin username and password set from code and run that exe without any admin rights. Is it possible?
