How does consent.exe function in Win 7
Hi,
I noticed that on Win 7 a process called consent.exe runs when i try to install any application. From the consent.exe description i understood that it is the consent UI for administrative apps and i believe it is related to the UAC since when UAC is disabled, this process does not run. Does anyone know what this exe exactly do in the background? I mean what checks does it perform? Does it connect to the internet to validate something?
I have a 1.8 GB setup and it takes almost 2 mins for it to reach the UAC screen when i start installing it.
Thanks,
Vijay
