Solution

  • from this answer , The issue that you're seeing is because of the File System Redirector which is occurring because you're running your program as 32-bit on your 64-bit OS. Therefore, you're executing %windir%\SysWOW64\SystemPropertiesProtection.exe (ex: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SystemPropertiesProtection.exe). so i add In app.manifest, and replace

    <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false" />
    

    with

    <requestedExecutionLevel  level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
    

    and modified the code to work with powershell:

       public static void OpenPowerShell(string Command)
            {
                try
                {
                    string filename = System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir"), "System32", "WindowsPowerShell","v1.0","powershell.exe");
                  
                    //environment variable windir has the same value as SystemRoot
                    //use 'Sysnative' to access 64-bit files (in System32) if program is running as 32-bit process
                    //use 'SysWow64' to access 32-bit files on 64-bit OS
    
                    if (Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem && !Environment.Is64BitProcess)
                    {
                        //filename = System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir"), "SysNative", "PowerShell.exe");
                        filename =System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir"), "SysNative", "WindowsPowerShell", "v1.0", "powershell.exe");
                    }
                    
                   
                    ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(filename);
                    startInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
                    startInfo.WorkingDirectory = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(filename);
                    startInfo.Arguments = "-NoExit "+Command  ;
                    Process.Start(startInfo);
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    FRM_MSG f = new FRM_MSG();
                    f.ShowDLG(" ",
                                ex.Message + "\n" + ex.StackTrace.ToString(),
                                FRM_MSG.MSGIcon.Error,
                                FRM_MSG.BTNS.One,
                                new string[] { "Ok" });
                    throw ex;
                }
            }
