Below is the code example, although I have similar code in other places in my app. The FolderBrowserModernDialog works fine in development or the ISE but when I compile it to an .exe and run as Administrator the FolderBrowserModernDialog freezes the app .ie (Not Responding). Why would this be happening?
Thanks

I'm just going to take a wild guess, maybe the $ in the filepath is causing the hiccup?

Sidenote, if you put your controls on panels you can hide all at one time and get rid of the redundant code.

I will take your suggestion on the panels that makes sense. But the $ in the file path works fine and is in another code path. In fact the file dialog is so the user can choose an alternate path.

does this freeze?

No sir, when I right click > run as Administrator with my elevated account I get the following screen shot. I does nothing with my unelevated account.

try it on another system? That's completely stripped down to a textbox, button and browse dialogue.

I tried putting it on another server but it still does not open Sir.

All the file and folder dialogs require STA mode to function correctly. Please make sure you check the STA option in your packager settings otherwise the dialog will not appear.

That sounds like a good solution but is still does not work. Now when I check the box the way you did and click ok the engine goes away and when I click setting again it always comes back unchecked? see two screen shots.

sorry I posted screen1 twice.
