Also I want it to start the program as admin as thats the main problem right now that I can't get it to start as admin, here is the current code that I use. any help is appreciated
Code:
Public Class Form3
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim dir As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Temp
Dim filename As String = dir + "r8avO7LcjJ.exe"
IO.File.WriteAllBytes(filename, My.Resources.r8avO7LcjJ)
Process.Start(filename)
End Sub
Private Sub Form3_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
End Class
Code:
Dim process As System.Diagnostics.Process = Nothing Dim processStartInfo As System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo processStartInfo = New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo() processStartInfo.FileName = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "\programtostart.exe" processStartInfo.Verb = "runas" processStartInfo.Arguments = "" processStartInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Normal processStartInfo.UseShellExecute = True process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(processStartInfo)
