Put this in your code:

#requireadmin

i tried #requireadmin but still it does not solve it.

I'm having the same problem. My script already contains #requireadmin which just results in Win 7 giving me the UAC aimed at administrators (Admins on Win7 still get prompted with UAC, it's just a different prompt). I've tried various combinations of Send() to get AutoIt3 to click the Yes button on the UAC, but none of them work. Send() works on other windows/dialogs but apparently there's no way around the UAC with AutoIt3.

It's always best to create a new thread firstly and secondly I have UAC disabled, but I would suggest using AU3Info and ControlClick(), the Help File will tell you how :) Or have a look at this by KaFu >>

Use SciTE and compile with this directive:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_requestedExecutionLevel=requireAdministrator

This way the UAC prompt will pop-up on start of you script but should not show up on subsequent installation executables.

You're welcome :), I was annoyed about the whole UAC stuff myself and spend some hours on research why and how it all is linked together.
