c# - ShellExecute doesnt work if some parameters are just int type -


i have below code launch .exe (in example notepad.exe). code not working. though there no compilation issues.

    [dllimport("shell32.dll", charset = charset.auto)]     static extern bool shellexecuteex(ref shellexecuteinfo lpexecinfo);      public static void exev()     {         shellexecuteinfo info = new shellexecuteinfo();         info.cbsize = system.runtime.interopservices.marshal.sizeof(info);         info.lpverb = "open";         info.lpfile = "c:\\windows\\notepad.exe";         info.nshow = 5;         info.fmask = 0x440;         info.hwnd = intptr.zero;         shellexecuteex(ref info);     }  }  [structlayout(layoutkind.sequential, charset = charset.auto)] public struct shellexecuteinfo {     public int cbsize;     public uint fmask;     public intptr hwnd;     [marshalas(unmanagedtype.lptstr)]     public string lpverb;     [marshalas(unmanagedtype.lptstr)]     public string lpfile;     [marshalas(unmanagedtype.lptstr)]     public string lpparameters;     [marshalas(unmanagedtype.lptstr)]     public string lpdirectory;     public int nshow;     public int hinstapp;     public int lpidlist;     [marshalas(unmanagedtype.lptstr)]     public string lpclass;     public int hkeyclass;     public uint dwhotkey;     public int hicon;     public int hprocess; }

i tried below code changed shellexecuteinfo structure , started working. changes have done renamed variables hinstapp,lpidlist,hkeyclass,hicon , hprocess int inptr.

[structlayout(layoutkind.sequential, charset = charset.auto)] public struct shellexecuteinfo {     public int cbsize;     public uint fmask;     public intptr hwnd;     [marshalas(unmanagedtype.lptstr)]     public string lpverb;     [marshalas(unmanagedtype.lptstr)]     public string lpfile;     [marshalas(unmanagedtype.lptstr)]     public string lpparameters;     [marshalas(unmanagedtype.lptstr)]     public string lpdirectory;     public int nshow;     public intptr hinstapp;     public intptr lpidlist;     [marshalas(unmanagedtype.lptstr)]     public string lpclass;     public intptr hkeyclass;     public uint dwhotkey;     public intptr hicon;     public intptr hprocess; }

i know if can make work int datatype variables. or work intptr only? how different in scenario apart datatype size? because doesn't give me syntax error when use int hinstapp,lpidlist,hkeyclass,hicon , hprocess variables doesn't work.

you need dig windows sdk headers see how large type is. example, 64 bit process, sizeof(hwnd) 8 in c++ , sizeof(int) 4 in c# therefore if use int store hwnd, corrupting memory. same hkey, lpitemidlist, hinstance , hicon. intptr designed kind of platform specific data type size.

the compiler won't warn runtime errors memory corruption.

powershell Start-Process exit code -1073741502 when used with Credential from a windows service environment -

i'm running strange behavior powershell start-process call. here call: $process = start-process ` "c:\somepath\mybinary.exe" ` -passthru ` -credential $defaultcredential ` -wait ` -workingdirectory "c:\somepath" ` -loaduserprofile if ($process.exitcode -ne 0) { #do } this call return exit code - 1073741502 . after quick search, exit code seems related generic error when program not load required dll (aka. status_dll_init_failed ). when run without -credential $credential program runs correctly. in order isolate problem, manually launched some.exe in prompt target credential , runs smoothly. so problem seems come way start-process cmdlet launch process. i found potential solutions problem tried apply no luck : link , link . would have idea of what's going on here ? edit 1: run proc mon monitoring program activities when launched directly or via powershell script. problem seems occur when loading kernelbase
