I am trying to write a program to export the System Info using the Msinfo32 utility on a button click. I am doing this in the C# using the Powershell class. Now, the thing is that the compiled application is already set to run with Administrator Privileges. But, I am still getting the Access Denied Error when the utility starts saving to Desktop. Below is the Source Code :-
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Management.Automation;
using System.IO;
using System.Management.Automation.Runspaces;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
namespace Diagnostic_Tool
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
progressBar1.Value = 10;
Runspace Run = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
Run.Open();
progressBar1.Value = 30;
Pipeline pipeline = Run.CreatePipeline();
progressBar1.Value = 50;
Command Msinfo32 = new Command("Msinfo32.exe");
string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory);
Msinfo32.Parameters.Add("/nfo");
Msinfo32.Parameters.Add(path);
progressBar1.Value = 70;
pipeline.Commands.Add(Msinfo32);
pipeline.Invoke();
pipeline.Stop();
Run.Close();
progressBar1.Value = 100;
MessageBox.Show("The Task Has Completed Successfully");
}
}
}
Could anyone please tell what is happening wrong?

You're getting access denied because you're telling msinfo to write data directly to the Desktop directory itself, and not to a file.
Your 'path' variable contains the name of the Desktop directory. You need to append a filename to this parameter. eg:
OLD: MSinfo32.Parameters.add(path)
NEW: MSinfo32.Parameters.add(path + "\\foo.txt")
