I have written simple batch script, which copies contents of one folder to the other. I have already logged into the machine as Admin. I am working on windows-7 machine.
Folder 1 and Folder 2
Location of folders :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Folder1
C:\Program Files (x86)\Folder2
If i am running my script by double clicking it, i am getting Access Denied. If I right click on file "Run as Administrators" it correctly copies.
Expected Behavior: On directly double clicking the batch script it should copy the file.As i am already logged in as Admin.
Waiting for valuable feedback, from fellow coder's
Following script, helps to run your batch file as "Run As Admin".
@echo off
if _%1_==_payload_ goto :payload
:getadmin
echo %~nx0: elevating self
set vbs=%temp%\getadmin.vbs
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) >> "%vbs%"
echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "payload %~sdp0 %*", "", "runas", 1 >> "%vbs%"
"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
goto :eof
:payload
echo %~nx0: running payload with parameters:
echo %*
echo ---------------------------------------------------
echo ADM is launching. DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOW.
cd /d %2
shift
shift
echo Name of the batch file which you want to run as admin
CopyFiles.bat
goto :eof
exit
