#RequireAdmin and FileCopy - (Moved)

[scarr]

Hello!

 

I have a script that makes a directory, copies a file locally from a server, and executes it.  I know the file gets there and executes but then I get the UAC prompt.  When I put #RequireAdmin at the top of my script, the file doesn't even get to the directory.  I was hoping someone could help since I am new to this.  Does anyone know what is going on?

Moved to the appropriate forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

Post your code so we can see what is wrong.

#RequireAdmin
#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>

;Variables
Local Const $fpath="C:\bomgar"
Local Const $bomsource32="G:\Bomgar\Workstations\32-bit"
Local Const $bomsource64="G:\Bomgar\Workstations\64-bit\bomgar.exe"
Local Const $bomfile64="C:\bomgar\bomgar.exe"

;Create path and copy file to path
DirCreate($fpath)
FileCopy($bomsource64, $fpath, 1)
Run($bomfile64)

;UAC on .exe 

So here it is.  Like I mentioned, it copies over and must execute because I get the AUC prompt on the .exe when I don't have #RequireAdmin.  Thank you.

Try first using the UNC path, in stead of the mapped drive, to the sourcefile when running elevated.

Check for errors at all steps (using ConsoleWrite), and verify Scite console for any messages...

Using the UNC path for the network location variables totally worked!  Thank you Jos.
