I am able to execute programs as administrator (elevated) on Windows 8 using either mirrorfs.exe or the original Dokan mirror.exe as long as I set the maximum number of threads to 1 (/t 1).
Once I increase the thread count (e.g. /t 0), executing setups (or using "Run as administrator" from the context menu) seems to fail every 2 to 3 starts (but this varies greatly). This behavior also seems to vary depending on the application I try to run.
Example:
- I mount my
D:\ drive as X:\ using mirrorfs.exe (mounted as a removable drive)
- Then I browse to the Downloads folder which is located there.
- I double click on the
DokanInstall_0.6.0.exe. This is just an example, this happens for every installer eventually. For the Dokan installer I can reproduce the behavior after 2 to 4 starts.
- I confirm the UAC prompt.
- If the setup is started successfully (i.e. Dokan displaying a compatibilty warning for Windows 8) I retry.
After a few tries Windows will refuse to start the application (or report it as crashed) either before or after the UAC prompt.
