Run FMLECmd.exe without compatibility mode

Question

OS: Windows 7 Enterprise, SP1

Adobe FMLE 3.2

I was always executing FMLECmd.exe from Java-code without any problems. But suddenly smth happened and the stream couldn't start anymore. Setting the compatibility mode to Windows XP SP3 solved the problem of execution.

But the new one appeared: launching the stream in compatibility mode should be performed as Administrator. I switched off the UAC popup and solved the problem of programmatical stream-starting.

But then the new problem appeared: when I want to kill the FMLECmd.exe process programmatically (to stop the stream) I get the message that 'Access is denied'. I guess the reason is that I started stream as Administrator, but process-killing is held as a usual user.

So, the question: Are there any ways to make FMLE work without compatibility mode? Or are there any ways to kill that process without being administrator from Java?

Answer 1

Didn't find how to run it without compatibility mode but could kill the process:

1. Create a batch file which contains taskkill /F /IM FMLECmd.exe
2. Create a shortcut of this batch file
3. Go to the properties of shortcut.
4. Choose Shortcut tab
5. Click Advanced btn
6. Tick Run as administrator option

7. Start the shortcut using this java code:

   String command = "start "+ pathToShortcut; String[] cmd = { "cmd.exe", "/c", command }; ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(cmd); pb.start();

That worked for me
