It checks for the existence of certain types of files in a certain directory and then sends them to the third party. When calling it with WD19's Exerun I get the following error: "Unable to lauch 'file path and name' executable: The requested operation requires elevation (740)" When called from a file manager (Total Commander), I can launch the same program after first closing a pop up window asking whether it's ok to launch. But I do not get the pop up window when using Exerun in my ERP, just the error. Quite obviously this is caused by Windows' inbuilt terroristvirus called UAC. In Windows 8.1 this problem is no longer totally controllable from the UAC setting slider window, like it was in 7. So I disabled the EnableUA key in the Windows register: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Policies -> System -> EnableUA = 0 Now the program can be run from Total Commander without any pop-ups disturbing the user, but WD19's Exerun still can't run it; it still gives the same error. Any suggestions on how to handle this problem in Windev 19?
