I was troubleshooting behavior of a script and was looking at Process Explorer and I noticed that processes that I started using an AutoIT script are void of details such as Description and Company Name. The associated Icon is also generic in Process Explorer. I also have the lower pane open in Process Explorer and I'm noticing that associated DLLS are not listed. If I right click on an application and click on "properties" and look at the Strings tab I get "<Error opening file>".

I don't remember seeing this behavior before and I will reboot to see if that corrects it. As of now I'm suspecting AutoIT because that is the common element with all the processes exhibiting the behavior described.

I'm using AutoIT v3.3.8.1 with SciTE v2.28 on Windows 7 64 bit.

Apologies for lack of clarity. I was referring to compiled scripts. I did some testing and found what the cause is. The behavior I described occurs when using the #RequireAdmin function. I should be careful to use that probably only within installer scripts and not for much else.
