Hi guys,

New to this very cool software. I have some pesky old software I'd like to remove but it isn't .msi based and requires several user inputs to remove. i have a working AutoIT .exe but the problem is, the uninstall needs to run under an admin account. I have a deployment software I use but it runs under the system account. When I run AutoIT under the system account the .exe doesn't progress

shocko,

Add #RequireAdmin at the top of your script - that will get it elevated. :)

I'm assuming by the 'system' account, you mean User Session=0 (which is the SYSTEM user...also where services run..., which runs behind user sessions, and is outside of the windows desktop environment).  If that is the case, make sure you consider this (related with locked stations as well): http://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/FAQ#Why_doesn.27t_my_script_work_on_a_locked_workstation.3F
