I am working on a vb.net windows 32 bit application. The application needs to startup. So I add the registry entry to rut it on windows startup. Also it is set to run as administrator.
The application starts fine on all OS except Win7 32 bit. It works fine for win 7- 64 bit.
On Win 7 32 bit:
If i execute the application directly, it runs fine. But it does not starts at the time of windows startup.
How can the application be programmed to run at win 7 32 bit startup?
The issue here is with Win Vista and win 7 32 bit. What happens in these versions is that the OS does not allows any application with admin privilege to run at startup.
Here is a blog entry of program manager of UAC http://blogs.msdn.com/b/uac/archive/2006/08/23/715265.aspx.
The good thing is this issue does not exists in win 7 64 bit and other OS. This is a vista issue due to which we developers face problems.
Hope this helps you.
