Can't add to startup (#requireadmin)

[legend 15]

Hello,

I want to add my script to startup, I've tried using

@startupdir and RegWrite('HKCU64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', 'RDTray', "REG_SZ", '"' & @UserProfileDir & "\RDTray.exe" & '"')

My script needs admin rights, #requireadmin

And that's why the startup isn't working, because it's running the script in the admin user, and not the logged in user.

Is there any workaround?

You don't need to use #RequireAdmin in the HKCU hive (but you need it in HKLM)

So remove #RequireAdmin or use HKLM64 instead of HKCU64.

I need admin rights, since i'm copying a resource to the system32 folder

Can i suggest a method of adding programs to localpolicy editor instead of registring to registry i think that may suite what you wish

Do you really need to write to HKCU ? You don't want to use HKLM ?

 

You can also make 2 scripts :
 - the first script is executed in the user context
 - the second one (extracted from the first with FileInstall) executed with admin rights

For example :

Script 2 : compile it first (will be executed as admin)

#RequireAdmin
; no what you need with the admin rigths here
; FileCopy ("....", @SystemDir, 1)

Script 1 : main script containing script2.exe (executed as normal user)

RegWrite('HKCU64\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', 'RDTray', "REG_SZ", '"' & @UserProfileDir & "\RDTray.exe" & '"')
FileInstall("script2.exe", @TempDir & "\script2.exe", 1)
RunWait(@TempDir & "\script2.exe -admin")
FileDelete(@TempDir & "\script2.exe")
