Does it actually do anything there? Maybe it prompts for admin username/password when the user isn't an admin (as opposed to vista, which fails even when the user *is* admin but not yet elevated). I guess I can google as well as you (but not tonight :) > Could you capture the output by adding ">somelogfile" to the passed > args ? It appears cmd.exe isn't used. I probably could use COMSPEC as the command, but then I'd be likely to get 'cmd.exe' instead of 'python.exe' (which would be much worse) and I'm really not sure its worth it for the extra complexity - what do you (or anyone) think? > For unattended installs, it might be helpful to have some way to > suppress the elevation attempt and just let it fail. Yes, good point - I should check a value in 'flags' before - 'no_retry' sounds reasonable (ideally the boolean wouldn't have a 'no_' prefix, but having flags default to 0/None/False etc sounds more compelling). But now is the time to get it right, so better names welcome :) FYI, I've finally got everything building with the Vista SDK which is excellent - thanks for your help. I'll just get one more Vista/Explorer sample working and I'll get onto a new pywin32.
