Hi!
"Run As Administrator" prompt on Windows 7 has several oddities.
e.g. if you have mapped disks (on LAN), try to do DIR R: with
command-line "As Administrator" and "As User" ...and you the problem.

Subject: [python-win32] Understanding "Access Denied" when calling
win32process.TerminateProcess() from Run As Administrator prompt
When running from a "Run As Administrator" prompt on Windows 7 Professional
32-Bit,
my Top-level python script spawns a process (which is another python script)
using os.spawnv( )
When the top-level script ends, it attemps to call
win32process.TerminateProcess() with the handle
that was created during the os.spawnv() call.
win32process.TerminateProcess(self._handle, exitCode)
pywintypes.error: (5, 'TerminateProcess', 'Access is denied.')
is displayed.
This runs on Windows XP just fine. Obviusly, Windows 7 is more stringent with
security concerns.
We use Python 2.3, so subprocess and multiprocess are not available.
I don't understand why this is an issue when running from the "Run As
Administrator" prompt.
Are there any other workarounds- until we migrate to Python 2.7?
Thanks
