run services.msc ?

[NewsArchive]

I'm attempting to open services.msc via a button (yes, the button
works<g>).

None of the "run" stuff I've tried has worked.

Any clues? Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

Maybe run SC.EXE instead?

....

run('services.msc',1)

works from Clarion

Thanks. I'll try it from my SBUtil.dll instead.

Would be nice if I could do this inside SB, though. I'm sure there's a
trick.

If I run it from my DLL, I get ErrorCode() 193 "Unknown Error Posted".

If I use the SB RUN, %SB_RETURN% is 0 the first time I call it, then
1. But no services.msc.

Could it be that it's an elevated process?

If I call services.msc from an elevated command prompt it works, just
like it does from a non-elevated command prompt.

You'll need the MMC container, are you running MMC services.msc?

Hi Lee, Jeff,

All I have in the Clarion 10 project I tested with is this...

PROGRAM

MAP
END

CODE
run('services.msc',1)

and it runs both from the IDE and standalone with no manifest, no
elevation nothing.
(Windows 8.1 Clairon 10 Build 12567)

What if you run your app elevated?

Hi Jeff,

It runs and displays the service manager elevated or non-elevated.

Are you running this on a network maybe?
