Cannot run program. CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation

[Om Tejas]

Hi,

I am executing a .exe file using

<target name="test">
<exec dir="C:\Sample" executable="SimpleExecutable" />
</target>

The environment is Windows 7 OS. And I am getting this error:

"Execute Failed: java.io.IOException : Cannot run program... CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation".

Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, I will continuw with my own search to get around this problem.

One option which I found is to open the cmd shell using "Runas administrator" option. This resolved my problem.

using "Runas administrator" option works. Specifically for Windows 7 OS.
