Shotcut doesn't work but running the exe file works

[innerperson]

Hello,


I have a strange problem. I am on Vista Premium and installed a c# app I created. It creates a assembly at startup up using codedom.

I get codedom errors when I run it throught the shortcut that was installed using InstallAware. When I run it by double clicking the exe file in the folder it runs with no problems.

I do have the program set up with elevate admin rights via the app.manifest file.


Is there some type of permission problem on Vista that is keeping it from working using the shortcut? Like I said it works fine when I run it from the exe folder.



Thanks,




Thomas

You can right-click on the shortcut and click "Run as Administrator" and see if that solves the problem. If it does, there is a setting in the shortcut's properties that will always run the shortcut as admin.

Check the shortcut's target and see if it's leading to the exact location of the same .exe file that runs with no problem.
