I have an administrative program (installed by click-once) that starts/stops
a service running on the same machine. The ServiceController class can check the status of the service, but as soon as it attempts to start/stop the service on Vista which has UAC enabled (it runs fine on XP and when UAC is disabled), I get this message: Cannot open <servicename> service on computer <computername>. Access is denied Presumably it's all about permissions. The application was installed as a fully trusted click-once program, and is running under a user that has administrative rights; the service is running under the LocalSystem account. This is a very common scenario. Can someone point me towards a solution? |

I assume the issue is that it's irrelevant if you're an admin because you
still run with limited user rights, and apparently Vista elevation manifests are not supported for ClickOnce web-deployed apps. See if this helps: http://www.geektieguy.com/2007/08/25...-applications/ |

You have it in one. Everything I have seen leads me to be conclude that
ClickOnce applications are not appropriate, if one wants to use something like ServiceController under Vista. I updated the application manifest to use enhanced rights, built a bootstrap rather than a ClickOnce installation, and everything worked fine under Vista with UAC (albeit with the expected prompts).
