Erase from file context menu doesn't work if Eraser is Run as Administrator

Description

If 6.0.5.1114 is set to Run as an Administrator on Vista with UAC, then attempting to Erase a file says it can't start Eraser (even though it's running). Works if Eraser isn't set to Run as an Administrator.

  • Milestone set to Eraser 6.0

This is expected behaviour. This is because when Eraser is already running at a higher privilege level than the new instance (which is spawned to delete the file) the interprocess communications don't work (because of Vista restrictions)

However I can work on it to make sure that the process works more smoothly in future.
