System.util.execute not working

[Kevin.Herron]

Because Ignition runs as a service I don't think it's possible for code running in gateway scope (tags, perspective) to open a GUI window even with "interact with desktop" enabled.

Interacting with desktop

My understanding is that this isn’t possible since Windows 7. Even when you change the user the service runs as and check “allow interaction with desktop” it still runs in session 0 where it will not be seen. These changes simply allow the process to be started without failing so that legacy applications relying on the behavior don’t crash.
