Thank you for your polite reply!.
I understood what you conveyed.
It seems that using windows service to start GUI with admin rights is not possible.
Right now I'm trying to investigate the direction of using Windows Schedule to do this. Hope this will be resolved soon.

I haven't tried it yet, but if not setting username/password in windows service's logon tab is there any way to do it?
Because I see the windows service is in session 0 that can get the token of the user who is logging in session 1 to interact with the desktop, like starting a GUI. Besides, I see that the logged in user can manipulate to run the GUI as admin.
So I'm not sure if the windows service can get the token of the logged in user and run the app as admin?

So if windows service is running under local system, is there any way to do start GUI as admin?

Dear Stefan_Lang,

Thank for ur reply,

Yes, i got it.
Currently I have chosen the solution is to change the build engine from devenv to msbuild and this problem has been solved.
