WindowsError: [Error 740] The requested operation requires elevation even after disabling UAC
elevation, python, uac, windows-8
Solution
You could try using:
subprocess.call(["abcd.exe"], shell=True)
Basically the important part here is `shell=True`; if set to False, then you will get the following error.
WindowsError: [Error 740]
Problem
I have disabled UAC and running my script in python. ``` command = "abcd.exe" subprocess.Popen(command,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE).communicate() ``` Also, I set the application `abcd.exe` from its property to run as admin. Then I'm getting the following error: WindowsError: [Error 740] The requested operation requires elevation
