Edifice Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Okay, so I need #requireadmin to use run("something inside of C:\Windows") on windows vista, but do I need a special flag on the run("") command to run it as an administrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catdaddy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I might be misinterpreting but I believe #requireadmin ensures that the script will ONLY run if the person who executes it has admin privileges. If there is a chance that your user does not have admin privileges you could use RunAs(). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edifice Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 yes, and it also activates UAC in vista - which is essentially nessecery for me because I am moving stuff around in @Windowsdir, but my question is: Do I need to flag my Run("") in some special way to activate admin rights for that particular run or do my little .exe have to admin rights already because of the #requireadmin at the top of the code? Just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catdaddy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Ah, I see. Sorry. Unfortunatly, it's been a while since I've messed with UAC as it was the first thing I turned off when I installed Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edifice Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 I hear you. Unfortunatly, I am currently creating a program to fix the most common bugs in windows update, and I do not have that option, as the thought is the program should be able to run on as many computers as possible.
