A function to run any external program with administrator privileges


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello
i have searched a lot about how to run external programs with the administrator privileges without the script running with administrator privileges using autoit

But all my attempts failed
Finally, today I found the VBS function doing this task
I immediately transferred it to our beloved language (autoit) and i decided to share it with you
i hope you like it
This is a simple example about how to use the function

runAsAdmin("cmd.exe", "/c @echo off & cls & echo test & pause", "c:\", @sw_show)

this is the function

func runAsAdmin($program, $parameters = "", $workingDir = @workingDir, $show = "")
local $oShell = OBJCreate("Shell.Application")
if isOBJ($oShell) then
local $result = $oShell.ShellExecute($program, $parameters, $workingDir, "runas", $show)
else
$result = false
endIf
return $result
endFunc

This is not to run  the VBS scripts, but  to run any program with administrator privileges.
I was in dire need of this function
When I found it, I wanted to share it with you so that anyone looking for it, like what I was looking for, would easily find it here.

Greetings
