Run command prompt as administrator

Post by kpassaur » Sat Dec 04, 2021 9:49 pm

Hopefully I will explain this well.

I have a compiled script that works on some machines and not on others. The portion that fails is the execution of a command line program. "This has worked for years with the RunProgram>"path and executable" options etc"

Since it is a command line program I have also executed with RunProgram cmd /c "and then the full path, executable and finally switches". This works on some machines and not others as well.

Now if I take the command line and run the Command Prompt as an administrator it works. If I put it in a bat file if fails. So, it only works if the Command Prompt is loaded as an administrator. Keep in mind the user is also an administrator. So what I am really looking for is how to access the command prompt as an administrator.
