results from debug diff from release

I have this code here:

#include 'windows.h'
#include 'Tlhelp32.h'
#include 'shellapi.h'
#include <wchar.h>
#include <fstream>

bool enumProcesses();

int main()
{
enumProcesses();
ShellExecute( NULL, L'open', L'log.txt', NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW );

return 0;
}



bool enumProcesses()
{
std::wofstream log('log.txt');
PROCESSENTRY32 lppe;
MODULEENTRY32 lpme;
HANDLE hSnapshot;
HANDLE mSnapshot;

lppe.dwSize = sizeof( PROCESSENTRY32 );
lpme.dwSize = sizeof( MODULEENTRY32 );
hSnapshot = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot( TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0 );

if( hSnapshot == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE )
{
log << L'Error creating process snapshot.';
return false;
}

if( !Process32First( hSnapshot, &lppe ) )
{
log << L'Error enumerating first process.';
return false;
}
else
{
mSnapshot = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot( TH32CS_SNAPMODULE, lppe.th32ProcessID );

if( mSnapshot != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE )
{
Module32First( mSnapshot, &lpme );
}

if( wcscmp( lppe.szExeFile, L'[System Process]' ) != 0 )
{
log << lpme.szExePath << ' ';
}
}

while( Process32Next( hSnapshot, &lppe ) )
{
if( wcscmp( lppe.szExeFile, L'System' ) != 0 )
{
if( (mSnapshot = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot( TH32CS_SNAPMODULE, lppe.th32ProcessID )) != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE )
{
if( Module32First( mSnapshot, &lpme ) ) {
log << lpme.szExePath << ' ';
}

}
}
}

CloseHandle( hSnapshot );
CloseHandle( mSnapshot );
log.close();

return true;
}


My problem is that whenever I debug this code in VC++ using F5 or CTRL + F5, it shows me all the processes but when I create a release version and run it, some things don't even show anymore and I'm not sure why..

Here's what I'm talking about:

release version:

Does it have something to do with permissions?

EDIT:

Looking at 1800 INFORMATION's post, I tried to 'force' it to run under SYSTEM account by using psexec -i -d -s and it worked... Is there any way I could run this without the need of doing such a thing?
