Vapir has nothing particularly different with UAC. I wrote to this list, in
some detail, on this subject some time back:
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/wtr-development/2009-October/001276.html
I have no problem with actually attaching, though, whether I run as
administrator or not. Just with an already-attached window navigating to a
local file. The short of it is that this can be solved by turning off
Protected Mode, or running ruby as administrator.
I don't know, maybe I'm mistaken as to what is actually at issue here. For
me, Robert's code runs fine for me whether or not I have administrator
integrity:
shell = WIN32OLE.new('Shell.Application')
shellWindows = shell.Windows
puts "window count = #{shellWindows.count}"
shell.Windows.each do |window|
puts "#{window.hwnd} #{window.path}" rescue false
end
Is this block doing something unexpected for other people?
