Under Vista it throws "InvalidOperationException" if the user is not Administrator. Please help. Eugene. surprise, surprise :)
Welcome to the real world (the non-admin world) - if you are not an admin you don't have access to every process information. Be prepared for such exceptions. --- Dominick Baier, DevelopMentor http://www.leastprivilege.com Show quoteHide quote > I used "Process.GetProcessesByName" method under XP with no problem. > > Under Vista it throws "InvalidOperationException" if the user is not > Administrator. > > Please help. > > Eugene. > I've been a veteran of non-Admin world since 1999. This is different world.
Whoever enabled this restriction no doubt meant to make Vista more secure. In reality I will have to set my users up as administrators so my program can continue to function. Please suggest any way to code around. Thank you in advance.
