Process.Start() not performing as expected

If I run takeown /F "C:\Program Files\Borland /A /R /D Y from an elevated command prompt, I'm given ownership of the Borland folder. But if I run the code below nothing happens. Tried running as Administrator and regular user.

Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Windows\System32\takeown.exe";
process.StartInfo.Verb = "runas";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "/F \"C:\\Program Files\\Borland\" /A /R /D Y";
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();

What am I missing?

Had the same issue. Release build(but not default "Debug") helps me.

A format and re-install of Windows seemed to do the trick. I wish I had a better answer but after much searching, I found nothing that worked. Perhaps an existing security setting was preventing it from working.

You need to have useshellexecute set to false on your startinfo object in order to be prompted by UAC
