[SOLVED]How run elevated command?
« on: February 18, 2020, 02:23:27 pm »
Hello friends,

I using Windows and trying to run command as administrator. I try this, but it give no output (uses ShellApi):

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. ShellExecute(0, 'runas', 'cmd.exe echo "FirstLine" > "C:\Windows\textfile.txt"', nil, nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

This command give output if I run in cmd.exe with elevated privelages, but not from my program?

I need execute as admin without UAC prompt (because user will be administrator anyway).

Does anyone know solution?

Seems to be perfectly normal. Searching for "windows runas redirection" has as first hit:

I tries a solution to run application with admin from wiki, but this didn't create file either (by the way, creating file isn't my end-goal, it just a way to see if it work). Here is code:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.   function RunAsAdmin(const Handle: Hwnd; const Path, Params: string): Boolean;
  2.   var
  3.     sei: TShellExecuteInfoA;
  4.   begin
  5.     FillChar(sei, SizeOf(sei), 0);
  6.     sei.cbSize := SizeOf(sei);
  7.     sei.Wnd := Handle;
  8.     sei.fMask := SEE_MASK_FLAG_DDEWAIT or SEE_MASK_FLAG_NO_UI;
  9.     sei.lpVerb := 'runas';
  10.     sei.lpFile := PAnsiChar(Path);
  11.     sei.lpParameters := PAnsiChar(Params);
  12.     sei.nShow := SW_SHOWNORMAL;
  13.     Result := ShellExecuteExA(@sei);
  14.   end;  
  15.  
  16. RunAsAdmin(0, 'cmd.exe echo "FirstLine" > "C:\Windows\textfile.txt"', '');

But file does not create?

How to run cmd command with admin from program? Thank.

Sorry, but you can't spawn an elevated process without a UAC prompt appearing, unless you are already running elevated to begin with.  Even admin users have to be prompted to elevate.
