Pass command line parameters to ShellExecute \ Runas

[super1337]

I am trying to run an application that requires UAC to elevate permissions with command line parameters...

I tried the following:

If Not IsAdmin() Then
    Global $CmdArgList

    For $i = 1 To $cmdLine[0]
        $CmdArgList = $CmdArgList & ' ' & $cmdLine[$i]
    Next

    ShellExecute(@AutoItExe & $CmdArgList, "", "", "runas")
    ProcessClose(@AutoItPID)
    Exit
EndIf

It passes all the command line parameters to shell execute so that when it runs as admin, it still has the initial parameters.

Unfortunately this does not work as it complains that Windows cannot find the exe file. Apparently it doesn't like command line parameters being passed to it.

Is there a correct way to do something like this?

I just found the answer... whoops.

There is a command line option for Shell execute. The following fix works:

If Not IsAdmin() Then
    Global $CmdArgList

    For $i = 1 To $cmdLine[0]
        $CmdArgList = $CmdArgList & ' ' & $cmdLine[$i]
    Next

    ShellExecute(@AutoItExe, $CmdArgList, "", "runas")
    ProcessClose(@AutoItPID)
    Exit
EndIf
