I have a process (A) that runs at user login on many systems. The users are usually not Administrators. I want the process to be able to launch a process (B) to do Admin level tasks. I have a common Administrator account ( called sysuser) on each system. I can use this to run process B in. Users cannot know the password to this account.
I have had little success with .net process,process startinfo so far in Vista
if process B does not have a 'RequiresAdminL evel' manifest then vista runs it okay as sysuser but at least privilege level. If I put a 'RequiresAdminL evel' manifest in process B then I get an exception 'Requires Elevation' and B does not run.
The only way I can get the system Elevation prompt is if I ...
1/ set processstartinf o.verb="runas"
2/remove the Username/password of 'sysuser'
then the elevation prompt occurs but users are left being asked to enter a password to a priviliged account they are not allowed to know.
I want the user to just have to accept the elevation prompt and then B run elevated under the 'sysuser' account. Anyone any ideas?

I can't find definitive explanation anywhere of which one will run and which one won't. I am mostly interested in vs2003 and vs2005. Is it mostly an issue of UAC or not running as an admin?
