Here's the original question:
I have some packages that don't want to install as local system (AutoCAD and our GIS software for example). Up till now i used AutoIT and used the runas command to install them silently. Now we are planning to migrate to windows 7 and UAC prevents the runas command to work. Does anyone know a way to work around this issue?
Here's the result of some testing:
The AutoIt script I deploy now looks like this:
(it's just an example i'm using to test this stuff. I open notepad with elevated permissions, and it requires elevated permissions to close it)
#requireadmin
runas("user", "domain", "password", @comspec & " /c " & "taskkill /im notepad.exe", @scriptdir, @sw_hide)
When i try this, the user won't get a pop-up but notepad won't close. If i try the following, notepad will close but the user gets prompted for permission.
Script 1:
#requireadmin
runas("user", "domain", "password", "script2.exe", @scriptdir, @sw_hide)
Script 2:
#requireadmin run(@comspec & " /c " & "taskkill /im notepad.exe",@scriptdir, @sw_hide)
Anyone have another suggestion?
