Copying sys file into the System32/drivers
Hi,
I'm trying to load my driver into the WIndow Vista Beta 2. Seems that i cant copy my dirver file (aaa.sys) into the System32/drivers. Is there anyway to work around so that i can let the system to run my driver? Should i disable the UAC? How can i get the Administrator privileges?
The error msg that i got is:
"You need to provide administrator credentials to copy to this folder"
Thanks in Advance...

I don't think disabling UAP is a good idea.
You can add a manifest file for your application.
And indicate in the manifest file that your application needs Administrator privilege.
Then when your applications is launched, system will ask the user to allow your application with Administrator privilege.
Try to search "manifest" ...
Do you have administrator privilege ?
If so, you should be able to copy files directly to the system directory (at least on my machine).
Or you can try to disable UAC.
how can i make sure i got the full administrator privilege?
I tried to disable the UAC features and copy the sys file to the System32/drivers. But, i'm still getting the same issue.
Mayb i ask, which build are you using? Window Vista beta 2 (RC0)?
Hi,
Thanks.. I'm able to copy my sys file into the system32/drivers after i reboot my com using the MSCONFIG method to disable the UAC.
But seems that i'm having problem to start the service :(
