bat to install an exe file
I'm trying to install fileformatconverters.exe via a bat file. I need to do this with administrator rights.
So far I have
xcopy /y fileformatconverters.exe "c:\:"
start c:\fileformatconverters.ex
It will not install unless the machine is logged in as administrator. Can I get around this?

The OS is windows XP pro
you can include the "runas" command in the bat file
"runas /user:domain\username"
"runas /user:domain\username"
ASKER
so do "runas /user:domain\username" where is the password
Then run Start c:\...
Then run Start c:\...
sorry
"runas /user:domain\username password"
"runas /user:domain\username password"

ok one more question:
runas /user:wellington\administr
runas /user:wellington\administr
yes, replace "password" with the administrator password
ASKER
I had to put a : between the administrator and the password but it worked. Thanks! You saved me so much time.
bah, i knew i forgot something:)
glad it worked out!

or
You can use psexec tools ( free ) and start bat remotely from another computer
fileformat.bat - example, add in environment path
psexec \\computerIP_address -u Administrator -p password fileformat.bat
