Possible Duplicate:
Elevating process privilege programatically?

I’d like to build a console application in .NET that simply runs another program with elevated rights. That way I can point it to, say, an install exe for Flash, send a shortcut to the user pointing to my ‘runasadmin’ exe, and the user can update Flash.

The credentials and the file name to run will be hidden from the user (within the compiled exe)

Is this secure, of course not. But the thought of hitting hundreds of users’ workstations is making us look at alternatives 🙂

Is this feasible? Anyone have experience in this area?

    Try the Windows API call “CreateProcessWithLogonW” – I’ve used this from .Net with much success.
