Important

In order for any of the functions offered by the library to work they must be run from a Windows Service!

Examples

use win_run::{Desktop, Elevation, win};

win("/path/to/executable")
    .args("-flag")
    .directory("/parent/directory")
    .desktop(Desktop::Default)
    .elevation(Elevation::Admin)
    .run()?;
