batch files - run as administrator

[JonJacobs]

I am a software developer (dot net). Until recently I did all my work in the XP environment. I developed a utility library that goes into the global assembly cache. In the XP world this was easy.

I write some .bat files that called the gacutil.exe and passed it the appropriate parameters.

gacutil.exe is a command line app, so right-clicking in Explorer and selecting run as administrator does no good.

I use .bat files because the path to gacutil.exe is a mile long, and the path to the library to register is a mile long. Typing the paths by hand every time is very tedious and very error prone.

How can I run the utility with administrator privileges?

Thanks,
Jon

Run from a cmd window launched as admin.

As for the long path... why not create an environment variable for the path, or "set path" ?

You could use the "Runas" command at the beginning of your batch file. See this.
