It is also calling Java, try setting the Java security level to low. If you have an older version of Java you may have to update it.

Yes this is a Windows7 machine and the weird thing is when I'm running application as an admin after right clicking it it works fine. Tried applying shims too, but, nothing worked - talonsprem87 11 years ago

Did you try to run that exe in XP Compatibility mode on Windows 7 - jagadeish 11 years ago

Sorry for the late reply, and yes indeed i try the XP mode for the EXE, but the error continued to be the same. - talonsprem87 11 years ago

I had this small thing to share it with you.....this application was captured and an MSI was created out of it. And the source too behaves in the similar manner in user....Now i m aware of the fact that , if source is behaving weird, there is nothing much we can do about it. Now , i tried the script you mentioned above, obviously not on the application but on my dummy machine.....for certain exe's it gives a UAC , which is not a problem at all, we can suppress it using a SHIM , but what i m afraid of is, what happens to the spadConsole.exe shown above when SHIM is applied, will it again start behaving as original and will we be back to square 1 - talonsprem87 11 years ago

Do not apply shim.. just give your exe file path in above script and check it..
ok.. once you launch this exe as admin, have you tried launching it as standard user? was it successful? - jagadeish 11 years ago-
Yes I tried and No , it wasn't successful .....the above snapshot is after launching this exe as standard user after launching it as admin - talonsprem87 11 years ago

Also, the environment we are talking about is heavily locked down.....no regedit, so runas admin cmd and every other combination that you can think of - talonsprem87 11 years ago

Use ProcMon - jagadeish 11 years ago

Haha......that was the last tool that i ever wanted to use.....but considering the situation....i think , i'm out of all options...so i will have to use it anyway - talonsprem87 11 years ago
