Execute Autoit Command as Admin

[sheck]

I was wondering if it's possible to execute a command as a different user inside AutoIt without restarting script ?

For example if I start script as a normal user in XP, but want to run some commands inside that script as Admin without running the whole script as Admin.

RunAs()

?

RunAs()

?

According to documentation RunAs() only executes files (EXE, BAT, COM, or PIF). I need to run a command such as FileDelete("").

How can I do that ?

You can't.

[sheck]

You can't.

That's a shame. Oh well, I will have to go around it.

Isn't that exactly what #RequireAdmin does?

No, that just tells Windows that this script can be executed only by someone with Admin Rights.

Well, you could always do it with command prompt i think, i've never tried this

$Path = @DesktopDir&"\foo.txt"
RunAs($sUserName, @ComputerName, $sPassword, 0, @ComSpec & " /c " & 'del "'&$Path&'"', @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)

Yes you can, however I would like not to do it that way, because not all commands can be read with STDOUR_READ() and I need to know exit code.
