I try to start wbadmin as a process via C#. I've installed WIN10.
If I try a File.Exist(@"c:\Windows\System32\wbadmin.exe") the answer is false (not found or not the correct priviliges).
A manifest with <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" /> is included and the security request pops up at the program start.
With WIN7 it runs without a problem.
Is there any idea to solve the problem?

if it is a 64-bit windows and wbadmin.exe is a 32-bit executable, the correct path is
c:\windows\syswow64\wbadmin.exe
in system32 folder there are only 64-bit executables.

Hi Sara,
thanks for the information, but ...
Yes it is 64-Bit, but at c:\windows\syswow64\ is no wbadmin.exe.
The c:\Windows\System32\wbadmin.exe works fine at an Administrator-CMD. I have another place at
C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-blb-cli-main_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.10240.16384_none_53554ecf29b30305
but there I get the error
"Im Cache des Ressourcenladeprogramms ist kein MUI-Eintrag geladen." (it is a german system)
The basic problem or question is: What can I do that File.Exist(@"c:\Windows\System32\wbadmin.exe") can see the file, like I can see it at the file-explorer?
i found the wbadmin.exe in my system32 folder as well. i think you don't need to check existence of the executable by a File.Exist since wbadmin comes with the operation system.
using System.Diagnostics; ....Process.Start("wbadmin.exe");
c:\windows\syswow64\wbadmi
in system32 folder there are only 64-bit executables.
