"Rights" issue When start program from another program in Windows with .Net Process.Start()

Question

i use a program to see if my application is crashed and in this case i start it again. Let's call this application B while main application it's called A.

The main problem begin when the Application A is started from B.

Seems there are "Rights" problems to execute this code :

var processInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("myfile.bat")
                              {CreateNoWindow = true, UseShellExecute = false};
        processInfo.Verb = "runas";
        var process1 = Process.Start(processInfo);
        process1.WaitForExit();
        process1.Close();

I have this problem on Win Xp and 7. I tried to execute Application B with "Execute as Administrator" too without any result.

It's seems a Rights problem cause if i launch the program without Application B it works without problem.

Can you describe in better detail the rights problem? What actually goes wrong? — Corey Ogburn, Mar 31 '12 at 08:49
Is the code above from process B or process A? The question implies that it is from process B, but your comment to Steve's answer implies that it is from process A. — Harry Johnston, Apr 01 '12 at 07:16

Try to set UseShellExecute = true.

I don't know if a 'bat' files qualifies as executable.
And the docs says that only executables could be started when UseShellExecute is false.

But if i start by myself "double click" the program A it works without problem with this code. – user1107078 Mar 31 '12 at 08:55
+1. Batch files definitely aren't executables in that sense. @user1107078, double-clicking a file in Explorer works the same way as Process.Start with UseShellExecute set to true. – Harry Johnston Apr 01 '12 at 07:15
