#1498 closed Bug (Fixed)
#RequireAdmin causes script to not complete/run when UAC is turned off and user has normal privileges

Description
Running the following example script on Vista or Win7 machine with UAC turned off as a user with normal privileges never shows the test message box and continues to consume CPU cycles, slowing the PC down. Have to log out of the user account to resolve.
#RequireAdmin MsgBox(0,"test","Test")
With UAC off using a Admin user then there is no issue.
With UAC on using a normal user then there is no issue.

A suggestion I would add is that instead of invoking the script again in the context of an administrator, why not just modify the manifest to specify the script should run as admin. This could provide the "admin badge" UI object and also solve this problem.

Someday Aut2Exe will have the option to do that. However, #RequireAdmin behaves a bit differently than the manifest flag (#RequireAdmin will work on Windows XP, too, for example).

I believe the problem only occurs when the scripts are stored on a network drive
comment:5 Changed 15 years ago by Valik
That makes sense, after elevation the drive may not be visible.

Replying to Emiel Wieldraaijer:

I have the same issue but my script or compiled exe is not on a network drive.

Why the fuck, if I may, was this bug rejected? It is a serious issue!

Hmm guys it is really big problem. You have to reboot affected machine after running script compiled with #RequireAdmin! Could anyone explain why it is rejected?
For anyone who needs some workaround for it: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/111820-requireadmin-when-uac-is-turned-off/
