Trying to get the runas command to work, but can't seem to figure it out..

Here is the code:

RunAs,Administrator,mypassword
FileInstall, Bat.dll, C:\Program Files\MPTS\Bat.dll, 1
RunWait, C:\winnt\system32\regsvr32.exe /s C:\Program Files\MPTS\Bat.dl
runas

If I run this, I get an error of:

Login Error: Unknown username or password.

If I use the built-in runas (on win2k) it works fine and the password is accepted..

Thanks

FYI - I have also tried this runas command line:

RunAs,Administrator,mypassword, myhomepc

myhomepc being my local PC name.. Please note that this PC is in a domain..

have you also tried
Code:
RunAs,Administrator,mypassword, @myhomepc


i know you said that this pc is in a domain-- but i assume that your trying to use its local admin credentials (since your 1st attempt didn't include domain info..)

Yes I am trying to do local credentials.. The first time I tried, I tried with:

RunAs, Administrator, mypassword, %A_COMPUTERNAME%

I didn't use the @ sign.. I will try that now..

If I add the @ sign, it doesn't work at all.. I must note; that this only seems to happen when I actually compile the code.. If I run it stand-alone it seems to work?????

Alright, I think I figured this out...

Here is my whole script:
FileAppend, MPTS Upgrade\n\n, C:\\source\\MPTS.log
FileInstall, BatchManagement.dll, C:\Program Files\MPTS\BatchManagement.dll, 1
RunAs,administrator,mypassword,%A_COMPUTERNAME%
Run, cmd.exe
RunWait, C:\winnt\system32\regsvr32.exe /s /u C:\Program Files\MPTS\Database.dll
FileAppend, DATABASE.DLL UNregister: %errorlevel% \n, C:\\source\\MPTS.log
RunWait, regsvr32 /s C:\Program Files\MPTS\BatchManagement.dll
RunAs

The above works...

If I put the fileinstall command inside of the "RUNAS" section it does not work.. But since not all users have rights to the program files section, how do I ensure that the files get copied.. (that is the reason why I wanted to do the runas and the fileinstalls together..)

users usally have read/write access to the program files folder (other-wise they wouldn't be able to run programs!)-- evan if they are unable to browse through it w/ explorer.

That is wrong. Users never need write access to program files folder to execute a program. This is only required for programs which store settings into the program folder, which is a bad behavior.

Could it be that you don't have the full path of the batchmanagement.dll..?
whenever uncompiled-- command just performs filecopy-- so thats why it works then. once you compile it-- it isn't including it in exe

per help file:
Quote:
The full path and name of the file to add to the compiled EXE. It must not contain double quotes, variable references (e.g. %ProgramFiles%), or wildcards

RunAs applies only to the Run and RunWait commands. It doesn't change the permissions of a command such as FileInstall. To work around this, you could FileInstall the file in a temporary folder then use RunAs+RunWait to run a hidden cmd window that uses the "move" command to move the file.
