Windows 8 #RequireAdmin Broken in Scite

[BinaryBrother@…]

If you open Scite normally, by double clicking on the icon, on a stock Windows 8 install and try to build any script with the #RequireAdmin tag. It will simply cease to function. Here is a replicating video.

#include <Crypt.au3>
#RequireAdmin
ConsoleWrite("Are we even initializing??" & @CRLF)
_Crypt_Startup()
If FileExists("C:\Windows\Explorer.exe") Then ConsoleWrite("FFMPEG does exist." & @CRLF)
$FFMPEG_MD5 = _Crypt_HashFile("C:\Windows\Explorer.exe", $CALG_MD5)
If @error Then

consolewrite("Error detected..." & @CRLF)

EndIf

_Crypt_Shutdown()
ConsoleWrite($FFMPEG_MD5 & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Why do you hate me?" & @CRLF)

A "workaround" is opening Scite with Administrative priveledges each time or manually setting it to always open with admin privs, but Scite should either ask for elevation or start elevated. IMO.

You don't understand how #RequireAdmin works so you request that a text editor require elevation? Try your script again by replacing ConsoleWrite() with MsgBox().

Your script is re-shelled with Admin privileges by Autoit3 and the original is ended, that is why you see this behaviour.

It's good to see you, Valik. I just expected the IDE to maintain a handle to the script that it was debugging, like others. So I assumed it was a permission issue. It's clearly not and I appreciate the responses.

Thanks for spelling it out, Jos. ^.
