Our users are using XP Pro where the vast majority have just domain users access rights.Hence they cannot install software.

We want to create a CD that has some Macromedia Flash files and the installer for the Flash viewer. The problem is that the user cannot install the viewer without admin rights. I could easily select the "Run As..." option and enter the local admin id and password, but as we have 125 machines to visit that doesn't seem too cool.

Is there a way to permanently set the property of the executable to use different credentials so I could have each person just put in the cd and run the installer? I thought maybe doing something through a batch file as well. I am kind of stumped?

Thanks,
Michael

Tek-Tips has a remarkable contribution by member Greg Palmer (gpalmer711) that creates a "wrapper" around an application for just this purpose.

Hi Greg, I got your application and received an error running from the CD as you thought. I have sent the error to the support email box as you requested.

I want to thank you and bcastner for such speedy info on my request. You folks rock!

cahooonma,
Greg Palmer (gpalmer711) rocks.
I roll.

I am so happy that you found a solution on Tek-Tips. Greg Palmer is far too modest. His application is just great stuff.

Best Holiday wishes,
Bill Castner
