Example for Runasadmin with AIr Applications

Hello,

i have problem of nativepath because nativepathw rite to reg file example:

How does air app work when air app writes double backsplash "\\".

I have been coded thsi example for writing reg file than air app opens cmd file than cmd calls admin right of regedit.

protected function init(event:FlexEvent):void               {                    // Center main AIR app window on the screen                    nativeWindow.x = (Capabilities.screenResolutionX - nativeWindow.width) / 2;                    nativeWindow.y = (Capabilities.screenResolutionY - nativeWindow.height) / 2;                                        // Load regFile and cmdFile                    getRegFile();               }                              private var airAdminFile:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("AirAdmin.exe");               private var regeditFile:File = new File("C:\\Windows\\regedit.exe");               private var regFile:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("AirAdmin.reg");               private var cmdFile:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("AirAdmin.cmd");               private var cmdAppFile:File = new File("C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe");                              protected function getRegFile():void               {                    // regfile                    var regFileStream:FileStream = new FileStream;                    var regFileStructur:String = 'Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00\n';                    regFileStructur += File.separator + "\n" + File.lineEnding;                    regFileStructur += '[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\AppCompatFlags\\Layers]\n' + File.lineEnding;                    regFileStructur += '"' + airAdminFile.nativePath + '"="RUNASADMIN"\n' + File.lineEnding;                                        var cmdFileStream:FileStream = new FileStream;                    var cmdFileContent:String = regeditFile.nativePath + ' /s "' +regFile.nativePath + '"' + File.lineEnding;                                        if(regFile.exists, cmdFile.exists)                    {                         regFileStream.open(regFile, FileMode.READ);                         regFileStructur = String(regFileStream.readUTFBytes(regFileStream.bytesAvailable));                         regFileStream.close();                                                  cmdFileStream.open(cmdFile, FileMode.READ);                         cmdFileContent = String(cmdFileStream.readUTFBytes(cmdFileStream.bytesAvailable));                         cmdFileStream.close();                                                  openShell();                    }                    else                    {                         regFileStream.open(regFile, FileMode.WRITE);                         regFileStream.writeUTFBytes(regFileStructur);                         regFileStream.close();                                                  cmdFileStream.open(cmdFile, FileMode.WRITE);                         cmdFileStream.writeUTFBytes(cmdFileContent);                         cmdFileStream.close();                                                  openShell();                    }               }                              protected function openShell():void               {                    cmdFile.openWithDefaultApplication();               }

Than i try example when air application gets to administrative mode.

PS: If your air app already is in the administrative mode. Than it will change to state like this

adminConfig.xml

<config>changeStateAdmin()</config>

Than it runs with administrative right. If you like your app with rewriting and deleting function once applicationDirectory

I hope you because it should fix for "\\" in regfile

Why does nativepath not work with "\\" , when air app create regfile:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]

"C:\Program Files (x86)\AirAdmin\AirAdmin.exe"="RUNASADMIN"

I try nativepath with air app function "\" to "\\" via replacement?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]

"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\AirAdmin\\AirAdmin.exe"="RUNASADMIN"

How does air app write when regfile does not give error with "\\"?

Can you help me? I can not find google Problem with nativepath

Thanks Jens
