[windev] ShellExecute / Windows vista

I think I got to the bottom of it. The executable was "blocked". If you rig=
ht-click it and do "unblock" then it functions.

What does the app's manifest say?=A0 You can open the .EXE in visual studio=

Hello

I have some code to invoke an application silently:

=A0=A0=A0se.cbSize =3D sizeof( se );
=A0=A0=A0se.lpFile =3D strTMSE;
=A0=A0=A0se.lpParameters =3D strArguments;
=A0=A0=A0se.nShow =3D SW_SHOWDEFAULT;
=A0=A0=A0se.fMask =3D SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
=A0=A0=A0ShellExecuteEx( &se );
=A0=A0=A0if (se.hProcess !=3D NULL)
=A0=A0=A0{


It works fine but on Vista a security box pops up saying the publisher coul=
d not be verified. The executable being run is bart of an installation from=
 someone else. They provided an upgraded EXE file which was downloaded and =
placed directly in the TMSe program files folder. I am not sure if this is =
the reason for the security warning.

Ideas?

Andrew
