I am hoping to get some assistance from the experts. I'm not very versed in scripting and what not. Our users do not have administrative rights on their computers and we want to allow them to be able to update a certain program that seems to need updating on a weekly basis. I am trying to make a GUI that lists the downloaded updates we keep on our server and lets them select the update they need and then it runs as the domain admin.

I'm not sure how (or even if it's possible) to display the files on our server. And for them to then select one and hit the $UpdateButton and have it run as the admin. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here is what I've managed thus far with the help of Koda.

$Form1_1 = GUICreate("IDS Updater", 633, 447, 1584, 161)
    GUISetBkColor(0xA6CAF0)
$IDSUpdaterTitle = GUICtrlCreateLabel("IDS Updater 1.0", 179, 24, 275, 49)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 30, 800, 4, "Garamond")
    GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000)
$Directions1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Please select the update you wish to install from the below list", 85, 104, 463, 25)

    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "Times New Roman")

    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "Times New Roman")

After scouring this forum for a couple hours, I've managed to get the file list from the network path to display. Now I just need to figure out how to let the user select one of the files and then click a button to run the selected file as the admin.

Here is what I have:

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=c:\documents and settings\andrew.mclean\my documents\scripts\idsupdater\idsupdater.kxf
$IDSUpdaterForm = GUICreate("IDS Updater", 633, 447, 1584, 161)
    GUISetBkColor(0xA6CAF0)
$IDSUpdaterTitle = GUICtrlCreateLabel("IDS Updater 1.0", 179, 24, 275, 49)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 30, 800, 4, "Garamond")
    GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000)
$Directions1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Please select the update you wish to install from the below list", 85, 104, 463, 25)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 400, 0, "Times New Roman")
$Directions2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel(" and hit the Update button.", 217, 136, 203, 25)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 400, 0, "Times New Roman")
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$AvailableUpdatesList = GUICtrlCreateListView("", 118, 165, 401, 160)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "Times New Roman")
    GUICtrlSetCursor (-1, 0)
    _GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($AvailableUpdatesList,"Available updates",397)
$FileList=_FileListToArray("\\koons.com\share\Applications\IDS","*.exe")
    If @error=1 Then
        MsgBox(0,"","No folders found.")
        Exit
    EndIf
    If @error=4 Then
        MsgBox(0,"","No files found.")
        Exit
    EndIf
    Dim $a_lv_array[$FileList[0]][1]
    For $i = 1 To $FileList[0]
        $a_lv_array[$i - 1][0] = $FileList[$i]
    Next
    _GUICtrlListView_AddArray($AvailableUpdatesList,$a_lv_array)
$UpdateButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Update", 120, 360, 153, 41, $WS_GROUP)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "Times New Roman")
$CancelButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 440, 360, 81, 41, $WS_GROUP)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "Times New Roman")
GUISetState()
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $CancelButton
            Exit
        Case $UpdateButton
            

EndSwitch
WEnd

OK. I'm pretty sure I have the syntax to do this, but I'm still looking into how I run the user selected file. In the below script, I am able to open cmd, but I want it to run the selected file from the listview.

Would I use GetSelected?

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>


#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=c:\documents and settings\andrew.mclean\my documents\scripts\idsupdater\idsupdater.kxf
$IDSUpdaterForm = GUICreate("IDS Updater", 633, 447, 1584, 161)
    GUISetBkColor(0xA6CAF0)
$IDSUpdaterTitle = GUICtrlCreateLabel("IDS Updater 1.0", 179, 24, 275, 49)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 30, 800, 4, "Garamond")
    GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000)
$Directions1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Please select the update you wish to install from the below list", 85, 104, 463, 25)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 400, 0, "Times New Roman")
$Directions2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel(" and hit the Update button.", 217, 136, 203, 25)

    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "Times New Roman")

        Exit

        MsgBox(0,"","No files found.")
        Exit
    EndIf
    Dim $a_lv_array[$FileList[0]][1]
    For $i = 1 To $FileList[0]
        $a_lv_array[$i - 1][0] = $FileList[$i]

    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "Times New Roman")
GUISetState()
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $CancelButton
            Exit
        Case $UpdateButton
            Local $sUserName = "Administrator"
            Local $sDomainName = "domain.com"
            Local $sPassword = "secret"
            If Not IsAdmin() Then
                RunAs($sUserName,$sDomainName,$sPassword,0,"c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe")
            Else

Thanks toaster, that helped a lot.

I got it working perfectly. The user runs the script and it opens a GUI that lists all the available updates we have on our server. They then choose the update they need and it runs it off the server as the administrator. I also set a delay for my GUI window so it doesn't close immediately, as it takes a few seconds for the file on the server to copy over the network before it begins the install.

Below is my final script.

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <file.au3>
#include <array.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>

    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 30, 800, 4, "Garamond")
    GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000)
$Directions1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Please select the update you wish to install from the below list", 85, 104, 463, 25)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 400, 0, "Times New Roman")
$Directions2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel(" and hit the Update button.", 217, 136, 203, 25)
