Run as Admjnistrator

[samardac]

Hi, my script works only when I run it with - Run As Administrator.
How to fix it?

You don't leave many clues. Perhaps you can start here: UAC.

My script try to create folder in A_Temp, or try to modify registr but no luck only it works only if you run exe As Administrator.

That's how windows works, nothing to do with ahk, you need permision (admin) to do stuff on certain places, the link I provided suggests some "Common workarounds". I don't know, but I think A_MyDocuments is less restricted. Btw, I can write to A_Temp without script being admin, probably because UAC settings.

That work arounds are very complex foe me, would be greate to have some simple instructions.

I have nothing else, maybe someone else saves the day, if not, you should consider to modify your script such that it doesn't rely on admin privileges.
Good luck.

Would it help to have the script run as Admin automatically? If so, add this to the top of your script...

Code: Select all

#singleinstance off
if not A_IsAdmin
{
	Run *RunAs "%A_AhkPath%" "%A_ScriptFullPath%"
   	ExitApp
}
