run powershell as admin

[Broggy69]

I am trying to run a powershell command with admin rights and display the results in a text box.

They only thing not working is the running as admin. I have my startinforverb = "runas"

Below is my code:

Dim objProcess As New Process()
objProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "runas"
objProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "powershell.exe"
objProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "E:\Install\3rdParty\Additional_Support_files\Windows_Firewall.ps1"
objProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
objProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True
objProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
objProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
objProcess.Start()

Dim output As String = objProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()
Dim errors As String = objProcess.StandardError.ReadToEnd()

txt_log.Text += "Output:" + Environment.NewLine
txt_log.Text += "-------" + Environment.NewLine
txt_log.Text += output + Environment.NewLine
txt_log.Text += Environment.NewLine
txt_log.Text += "Errors:" + Environment.NewLine
txt_log.Text += "-------" + Environment.NewLine
txt_log.Text += errors + Environment.NewLine

Here is the result I get:

Output:
-------

The requested operation requires elevation (Run as administrator).
