Overwatch is started without any arguments about bnetlauncher HOT 9 CLOSED

It's weird, on my system I don't run it as admin and returns proper results, did you change/disable the UAC settings or run the game as admin by any chance?

Just saw your commits you made 3 days ago. It seems you already know about it. I tried reinstalling the Battle.Net client, it didn't help. I also tried cloning your code, building it and using it instead (to reflect your recent changes).

I have Overwatch and it's currently working with bnetlauncher when i launch it, with or without battle.net client running.

As for your test,

"If you did not use the Start method to start a process, the StartInfo property does not reflect the parameters used to start the process. For example, if you use GetProcesses to get an array of processes running on the computer, the StartInfo property of each Process does not contain the original file name or arguments used to start the process." in Process.StartInfo documentation

That is the reason why I use System.Management API to retrieve the StartInfo, should have probably added a comment about it.

As remarked in the GetProcessStartInfoById it does sometime fail which is why I have retry code but I have never had it return empty values, so at least locally I can't seem to reproduce the issue, I could try fixing it by adding a check for empty and retry but would prefer to try and figure out what's going on before I "fix it".

Could you enable the log file and send it over?

I'll try debugging and finding the cause. I know there isn't much you can do about it - seems I'm the only one having the issue.

So I debugged it and found the problem. The searcher.Get() was returning an empty collection, so it wasn't throwing any exception. It just skipped the foreach loop and continued trying.

I thought - maybe it was a permission problem. So I tried setting bnetlauncher.exe to always run as an administrator and it works now.

I can see though, that you have <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false" /> in app.manifest, so it should require the permission automatically.

So I assume my OS is acting weird and it is not your app's problem.

Thanks for this great app and good luck with future development. And sorry that I bothered you with this without even trying such a basic thing like running it as an administrator.

Yes, my UAC is set to never notify and I have set Overwatch to run as an administrator. That was exactly the problem.

I'll try and see if there's any way to fix it or at the very least provide some warnings about it, thanks for all the testing and debugging.
