I would be part of a setup script so could I use the following a let the user enter his password?<br />
&nbsp; Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject(&quot;WScr<wbr />ipt.Shell&quot;<wbr />)<br />
&nbsp; objShell.Run(&quot;%comspec% /c runas /user:Administrator \\myserver\folder\mybatchf<wbr />ile.bat&quot;),<wbr /> 0, True<br />
<br />
I would try it but I can even get the batch file to clear the read-only even run manually.

I never got it to work but thinks it's more of a MIT problem to fix.

How do I write a VBScript to call a batch file with admin rights (UAC) on a Win7 PC?  

FYI: I've got a batch file called Setup_ProgFiles.bat.  This batch file contains the following:
  ATTRIB -R "c:\program files\*.*" /S
This is to clear the read-only attribute so my program stored there can run correctly.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
