Execute elevated command line tools

Hi all,



I'm experiencing some crashes in our application. The thing is I need to execute a memory dump before killing the application which is failing to close properly.





We are using this tool: ProcDump

which requires to be executed in an elevated terminal.



I also need help on how to call it in C# script since I couldn't find how to do it.



Cheers!

    To run an elevated application from TestComplete, you need to run TestComplete as an administrator.



    You can run apps using either TestedApps, or the shell's Run method:



    Sys["OleObject"]("WScript.Shell")["Run"]("procdump notepad", 1, true);



    If the command line includes file paths with spaces, put quotes around them:



    Sys["OleObject"]("WScript.Shell")["Run"]("\"C:\My Tools\procdump.exe\" notepad", 1, true);

    Hi Helen,



    The devs suggested the app... so I guess the have used it in the past.

    I'll offer them both options if you help me with the other one too.



    Thanks in advance,
