Thanks for having given me hints.
Actually, my problem is a bit more complicated:
I have a Rev exe that is running.
It would download an installer stack from the internet.
Without closing the running exe, I would want to run it as admin on-
the-fly :-)
Then install files in program files (i.e. replace some separate
stacks) and finally restore usual rights...
Last step could be skipped ;-)
Why do I want to do this is just would allow me to build my own
installer instead of downloading a 'regular' installer that would do
the job without problem.
Eric,
I'm not aware of how you could go about elevating the privileges of a
running exe.
The way I do this is the vbs technique. While my application is
running I download the update. I then launch the vbs file I mentioned
in my previous and quit the application. The VBS file in turn launches
another VBS file using elevated privileges. This second VBS file
waits for the main app to quit (watching the process ids), installs
the updater files and then relaunches the main application.
The other option I see would be to write a small exe that has the
embedded manifest and handles installation of files. Your main exe
could launch this during the process.
