VB.net and running an external .exe program in both Administrator mode and compatibility mode (windows xp sp2)

Hey all i am trying to find some code that would allow me to run a program with administrator rights and also windows xp sp2 compatibility mode. But i have not yet found any code to do that using VB.net

Any help/links would be great! Thanks!

Solution

  • If you don't have to pass command line params, you can create a shortcut to the exe, and set it to compatibility mode and admin there. Then just ShellExecute the shortcut.
