Actually changed the %windir% to C:\Windows\notepad.exe... I think that's the right path for the notepad app.

nope, check again...

Perhaps not really relevant to this thread but a Windows Explorer search for "notepad.exe" in my Windows 7 - 64bit system finds no less than SEVEN individual copies of notepad.exe. One of them is in fact in C:\Windows and %windir% = "C:\Windows".

just a guess: it's worth trying to add these few lines to the beginning of the script and try again one more time. Let us know...

#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>
;Turn off redirection for a 32-bit script on 64-bit system.
If @OSArch = "X64" And Not @AutoItX64 Then _WinAPI_Wow64EnableWow64FsRedirection(False)

Still no dice. It always gives me an exit code of 1... whatever that means. And no script appears to compile.

#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>
;Turn off redirection for a 32-bit script on 64-bit system.
If @OSArch = "X64" And Not @AutoItX64 Then _WinAPI_Wow64EnableWow64FsRedirection(False)
RunAsWait("localadmin", @ComputerName, "your admin password here" , 1, "C:\Program Files\HandBrake\HandBrake.exe")

I've tried 0 , 1.. not sure what I should be using there honestly.

Anyone got any other ideas? If it's possible, i would prefer not to set my users as local admins, but it may be unavoidable.

[dmcgannon]

Okay... I've tried playing with the scripts and here's my latest code, that is an admin user account that has been created specific to this function. Also the correct path for the application.... I've tried my code with notepad and it launched perfectly. When I try this application, a command window pops up, then closes and nothing seems to happen.
RunAsWait("SpecoTec","Oburgcounty","Password Here", 0, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Speco Technologies\SpecoTech Multi Client\SpecoMC.exe")

Even if you run as an admin, you may need to have #RequireAdmin also.  Have you tested it ?  Can you see what is showing in the DOS console ? (try make a printscreen)

[dmcgannon]

Okay.. so I don't want the users as admin so where do I put the #requireadmin and how do I run it as a non-admin user then? I used to have a pretty good grasp of AutoIt, but Windows 10 has thrown me off.

Bro help us to help you. 

Answer on the correct way : Post always the code you are using.... (Always) 

In this kind of tag Thanks :)

From what I understand there is misunderstanding of what you want to do and what you are using. 

Try that and replace with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Speco Technologies\SpecoTech Multi Client\SpecoMC.exe": 

Local $sFile = "C:\Windows\notepad.exe"
Local $iPID  = ShellExecute($sFile)

These lines : 

Local $sFile = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Speco Technologies\SpecoTech Multi Client\SpecoMC.exe"
Local $iPID  = ShellExecute($sFile)

-You determine your app first. 

-You lunch the app. 

And then in this case if you need admin right in the computer that run the script. To Execute the application under the admin account. 

Then : 

#RequireAdmin
    
Local $sFile = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Speco Technologies\SpecoTech Multi Client\SpecoMC.exe"
Local $iPID  = ShellExecute($sFile)

@dmcgannon

Have you figured out why you are getting the @error = 1?  If not, I'm sure I can help you get past it so you can continue to make progress.

[dmcgannon]

Never could isolate my error. I finally gave up and went about what I needed a different way. thanks to all for the help though.
