I'm using version 0.4.0-r153 on XP Pro, fully patched. I'm attempting to run a program located on a network share with administrative rights and sudowin keeps reporting "Command not allowed".

I've set the path to the executable properly, as well as set allowAllCommands to true, the problem seems to be a limitation with sudowin. I have this problem with any executable on a remote share. Running local programs gives the desired result, so I don't think that I'm causing the problem.

Is there any way that you can sudo a program not installed locally? I don't see any references to remote execution limitations in the docs, though I may have missed it.

    hello mattds, I have the same problem. I will try to make a little program, e.g. with visual basic, which has the application path as argument and starts the application from the network and then quits. Perhaps, this is a workaround.

    Hello. I had the same problem and made a little program which starts an application, given in the argument. So, you define the path of the little program in the "Path"-attribute of the XML and the path of the application to start in the attribute "argumentList". But it only works with UNC. This workaround also solves the problems with starts from CD/DVD
