We could document that to get the admin privs, you should use a different
.exe.  But that still sucks :)

That seems to work fine.

My patch uses ShellExecuteEx(); unless that uses %comspec%, redirection is
unlikely to work.  I've not tried though.  Any chance you could see if you
can get the child output?

I will not do that so I can test how things work for people who stick with
the recommended settings.  OTOH, Vista isn't my main dev env yet; it might
drive me mad if it was :)
