About UAC, I'm untouching now. It is dicfficult to design and implement into 2.0.0, I guess. If python does something to manage UNC, please tell me what python does :) ---------------------------------------- Bug #6744: ruby unable to run system commands that require elevated privileges https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6744#change-32377 Author: rogerdpack (Roger Pack) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: usa (Usaku NAKAMURA) Category: Target version: 2.0.0 ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20) [i386-mingw32] Examples, download this file: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smplayer/files/SMPlayer/0.6.9/smplayer-0.6.9-win32.exe then attempt >> system("./smplayer-0.6.9-win32.exe") => nil (it should have worked, but displayed an elevated privilege command prompt--python does this, cmd does this).
