CreateProcessWithLogonW

[Ajay L D]

Hi All, I am trying to use the API CreateProcessWithLogonW in my app. I get an error message which says "The specified service does not exist as an installed service" with error code 1060. Does anyone has any idea why this is happenning? Thank you, AJ

which OS you are working on, Check whether the RunAs service is started; on Windows XP it is named "Secondary Logon service, possibly for security reason, this service may be disabled in your machine(by admin), check the runas command also.

:) Thanks a lot!! I was running it on XP Embedded. That explains why it isn't running! Thanks again, AJ

I would like to know the reason why this post is voted down.

[Rajkumar R]

so, i think you need to add the RunAs service component[^] to the runtime OS image

I don't know who has voted down...and how do you vote?

Can the performance of this API be improved in any way? I tried out the API and it is way too slow. I guess this might be because of the fact that it has to logon with the credentials that I provide and then launch the process.
