Bug Bounty: 150 $ for solution PDFCreator on Windows Vista
Submitted by philip on Wed, 2007-09-12 14:16.
Hello,
as you all know, PDFCreator currently does not work properly under Windows Vista. The upcoming Version 0.9.5 will have basic Vista support, but the main problem has not been solved.
The problem is, that Vista has a strict security system, that does not allow the way PDFSpooler.exe tries to start PDFCreator under the context of a user.
Is there someone who has already done this under windows Vista?
We have the possibility to do this in C (not C# oder C++) oder in Visual Basic 6.
Any help, hints oder experience is appreciated here, as we have spent several days on this issue without a result.
We are offering a bounty of 150$ for the first one who can solve this.
regards,
Philip
still think it the file and reg. sharing that the problem.
vista will return success even when not.
vista uses virtual files and reg.
One app with higher uac will see system files where lower one sees virtual files which or diferent.
please see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb530410.aspx
Do not use the registry as an inter-process communication mechanism. Services and user applications will have different views of the key.
Remember that virtualized resources are per-user copies of global resources
