Autoit can't execute exe in System32
Hello there ..
Sometimes I just can't understand Autoit ..
I am trying to execute a simple cmd command, but Autoit refuses to do so.
Here the example script:
Local $iPID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /C quser', @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
ProcessWaitClose($iPID)
Local $sOutput = StdoutRead($iPID)
MsgBox(0, 0, $sOutput)
Other way round:
Local $iPID = Run("C:\Windows\System32\quser.exe", "", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
ProcessWaitClose($iPID)

I guess shellexecute and run fails because of security issues. Most likely autoit doesnt have rights on the sys32 folder . This is why it works when you move it to the desktop.
Look what your DLL call is doing - "This function is useful for 32-bit applications that want to gain access to the native system32 directory. By default, WOW64 file system redirection is enabled."
