Elevated Execution

[Johan]

Hi,

I've been struggeling a while to get a compliant workflow going.
I need to be able to submit jobs and retrieve server information in 3ds max without running max as administrator.
I've tried many things already, but besides wrapping the commandline in a socketserver of some sort I've not been able to properly communicate with the commandline interface (C:\Program Files (x86)\RenderPal V2\CmdRC\RpRcCmd.exe)
I use windows 10 and have UAC off, (but can't run max as admin). Every command I try will fire up a cmd window and that will fire up a new window (probably elevated) that executes, but that in turn doesn't write any data anymore.

Here's an example:

Code: Select all

rprccmd = "\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\RenderPal V2\\CmdRC\\rprccmd\" "
cmd = "-compact -listpools >> d:\\temp_list.txt"
hiddendoscommand (rprccmd + cmd)

If I run that in max without "run as admin", the file gets created but is never written to. When I run max as admin it all works as expected.
Tried the python wrapper as well, same results.

I have a hard time understanding what the need for elevated rights is. Also tried changing rights on the exe, also did nothing.
How can I submit jobs from max to renderpall and retreive information from the manager without running max as admin.

Thanks!

To make it simpeler to understand the issue, start a command prompt thats elevated to admin and one without, now run both the same command:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\RenderPal V2\CmdRC\RpRcCmd.exe" -listpools

Admin one gives feedback the other not.

Hope this helps, please let me know how to get to RenderPal without admin rights.

Thanks,

Hmm, nothing? No one has these issues, or solved it?
Thanks!

We've just released a new version that should solve this.

I just tested this, 2.15.3 still requires elevation.
