XP Run As warning

[NewsArchive]

Does anyone know of anyway I can prevent the XP Run As window from
appearing?<g>

The installation program is code signed as is the exe being installed.

The script line that makes this window pop up is the
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\OSQL.exe

I'm using ShellExecute and tried both Run elevated on and off.

Basically run some SQL commands to a MS SQL Express 2008 installation.

Thanks!

IMO, this can only happen if you have the "Run elevated from non-elevated
SetupBuilder application" option enabled.

BTW, I think we'll change the runtime in such a way that this option is only
executed on Vista and better machines.

Good idea!

We're wrapping dual run statements into an IF ELSE block based on the OS
version, so that would eliminate the need to do that.

Changed in the runtime now and will be available in the next maintenance
build. The installer only makes use of the "runas" verb to launch an
application elevated from an non-elevated SetupBuilder application if the
operating system is Vista or better. So the If..Else block is not required
any longer.

I haven't run into this in SB since all my installs are elevated but I ran
into this when testing the "runas" verb and realized that it worked also on
XP<g> The MSDN docs I found specifically said it only worked on Vista and
above, but apparently it does also on XP;)

Best regards,

I noticed this some days ago. One of our test installers displayed the "Run
As" dialog on XP and I had no idea what was going on. I found out that the
"Run elevated from non-elevated SetupBuilder application" option was
enabled.
