Hi everyone,
I have a problem with write data to drive c,I am using max8,this is the reason that the default access permission for driver C is not writeable,so either run the 3dsmax with admin or write data to other position that can writeable to fix that,so my question is ,is there a way to make data writeable via script or dotnet?
by the way I am sure if 3dsmax runs with admin will work fine.
You do not state what OS you are running, but I’m sure it’s related to ‘User Access Control’,
the only way to be able to write to C: is to either disable user access control, or run the application with elevated administrator privileges.
The ‘User access control’ is there to prevent users from doing what you are trying to do, if you could easily avoid it then there would not be much security in it in the first place.
It’s much better to make a folder from 3dsmax tool, or use one of the folders 3dsmax already has access to and then go from there.
Or adjust permissions on the folder(s), making sure that the user you launch 3dsmax as can write to it.
Yes, I mean UAC (user access control) ,you cannot disable it from maxscript or dotnet (not even command line), since that would make it too easy to write malware that simply disables it.
You can use a command line tool called “NirCmd”.
Through it you can run a bat that moves the file to the desired folder and you can use nircmd to elevate the process.
I’ve used it in some occasions. I do think however that you should try to work inside the user folders. All programs have access to it, and that’s why they are there!
Unlucky,as I said,I am using win8,the latest version of NirCmd does not support win8:
elevate [Program] {Command-Line Parameters}
For Windows Vista/7/2008 only: Run a program with administrator rights. When the [Program] contains one or more space characters, you must put it in quotes.
