Try running the program as an Administrator

i not sure is it will have any problem if i run as administrator
but for my project i want it to be run for any login user
because some user are restrict to the folder change
and what i want to do here is automatically update the patch everyday

try to change the path, in vista I dont think you can manipulate the program files folder without having administrative rights.

yes, i know if i change the patch to other directory like D or F or put it in desktop will be ok, just wanna know is that any work around to do tis.
its seem like we have no other option to do if v really want to do it on c:\program file?

alonso you should to create another program, try this codes in it, it might work

Dim passy as As New Security.SecureString()
Dim password As String
For Each str As Char In password
passy.AppendChar(str)
Next

Process.Start("C:\Program Files\YOURPROGARM\PROGRAMNAME.exe", "username", passy, Nothing)

hi, i realise 1 thing
if i using this program to call another program means i need to know the username and password for every user who log in to the computer
if there any way for me to get it?

[alonso_siang]

Process.Start("C:\Program Files\YOURPROGARM\PROGRAMNAME.exe", "username", passy, Nothing)
i think this can be done if i using administrator as username
but the problem is i not able to get the credential or password for administrator
is there any way to get it?

I had similar problem a few years ago and found a solution (quite complicated) which I placed here: http://vbdotnettutorial.blogspot.com/2006/05/access-to-path-is-denied.html
I know it is hard to read, but maybe will help a little.
