Help.  I've gotten patch and am trying to use it to apply a patch under Vista,
but everything I try results in patch running and nothing happening.  It stays
running (seemingly indefinitely) until I press CTRL-C to stop it.

Thanks,

George

What is your command line?  `patch' reads the patch source from `stdin'; did
you redirect it?  Perhaps it is just waiting for you to type the patch input.

When I start patch.exe Vista asks for confirmation to allow or deny patch.exe
execution because of the unkown publisher. Now, when execution is allowed, a
command line window opens that awaits input and can be quitted by pressing
Crtl-C.

However, the parameters aren't passed to patch.exe. The following doesn't work:

patch.exe < Filename.patch

Any ideas?

Has this issue been resolved?  I just installed patch.exe and it requires
administrator privileges to install, not to mention to run a simple `patch --version`
or `patch --help' command.  It shouldn't work that way, right?

Thanks,
Eric.

There's a fairly straightforward workaround:

 in the same folder as patch.exe, add a file named 'patch.exe.manifest' which
has the following content:

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
    <security>
      <requestedPrivileges>
        <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker"/>
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
  </trustInfo>
</assembly>
</pre>

Two things need to be borne in mind: you need elevated privileges to create
this file in the right place (otherwise it ends up in your personal virtual
store, which is not the same folder); also, check there is no 'run in compatibility
mode' setting on patch.exe before you create the manifest.

Please note that the <pre> and </pre> tags in my previous post should NOT be
part of the file content - I didn't read the 'HTML tags will display in your
post as text' warning carefully enough :(

Unfortunately this does not work on 64-bit Vista. After adding the patch, running
patch results in a prompt saying (loosely translated from Swedish) "The requested
action requires a privilege elevation" and then the program terminates. The
only way to run patch seems to be "as administrator". Not good. And why does
it need elevated privileges? All it does is twiddle some files (in a highly
useful way).

[quote]Unfortunately this does not work on 64-bit Vista. [/quote]

Have you applied the workaround described in posts 6 and 7 in this thread?

Patch.exe does not need admin privileges;  it's the heuristics built into Vista
which assumes that executables which do not have a manifest and have certain
strings in their name - such as 'patch' and 'setup' - which causes the elevation
prompt.  Adding the manifest above stops Vista applying this heuristic; patch.exe
then runs using the invoker's privilege.

Yes I applied the workaround, but it didn't "take" immediately. It works after
rebooting.

You have to touch the file to apply it immediately. So if you create a manifest
like patch.exe.manifest:
touch patch.exe

You'll need three manifests for gnuwin32 utils,
patch.exe.manifest
install.exe.manifest
install-info.exe.manifest
