NativeProcess fails to work correctly with UAC

hi there,

 

i'm using air 2's nativeprocess api run downloaded update application.

 

on computers without uac enabled, works fine, when calling nativeprocess.start(), starts installer , runs absolutely fine.

 

on computers uac enabled however, after calling nativeprocess.start(), stops, , not run of lines of code after within function. (in case, creates log message , calls nativeapplication.nativeapplication.exit(), tested trace statement before , after; trace after calling nativeprocess.start never displayed.)

 

i elsewhere in application starting javaw.exe make use of merapi bridge/amf messaging. starting javaw works uac enabled. seems issue may isolated installation programs come uac warning "this program make changes computer" type message.

 

i tried using file.openwithdefaultapplication open directory containing installer, _also_ doesn't work on machines uac enabled!

 

is there work-around problem can't use applicationupdater (since it's targeted @ .air @ moment) , can't execute downloaded file nor navigate user downloaded directory!

 

any appreciated!
