Wednesday, January 11, 2012 6:18 AM
( permalink)
Hello everyone, It is my first post to that forum. bellow is a one line vbs code I made to get the UAC to run a program, CreateObject("Shell.Application").Namespace(CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetParentFolderName (WScript.ScriptFullName)).ParseName("MyProgram.bat").InvokeVerb "RunAs" it is working fine Now the problem part, if I replace the "MyProgram.bat" with the "<any path>\MyProgram.bat" (e.g. C:\Users\username\Desktop\VBS.UAC\MyProgram.bat), the code do not works, it is not accepting any directory. What can i do to make it working with a full path ??? can anyone help ??? please help... Regards...

Thank you vary mutch 59cobalt for your replay, 59cobalt
Disable UAC?
Unfortunately disabling the UAC is not an option for me. But thanks anyway for your replay 59cobalt I am looking for a way that the code can accept directory paths also.

What part are you changing? If you are ONLY changing the "MyProgram.Bat" to reflect the full path then that would be why. You used the Namespace method which effectively returns a Folder object and the ParseName method works off that directory. So if you use "C:\" for the namespace and then call the ParseName method it would actually look like you are saying "C:\C:\MyProgram.bat".

Hey Wakawaka, thank you vary much buddy, you just saved my life, sometimes vary subtle things goes out of mind I was just about to recode from scratch my entire project Now that is the modified code bellow which is fully functional for me, CreateObject("Shell.Application").Namespace("<Full_directory_path\>").ParseName("MyProgram.bat").InvokeVerb "RunAs" Where the "Full_directory_path" can be any directory, e.g. C:\Program Files\xyz\abcd
