How to create a batch file to run cmd as administrator

Question

I need to run a batch file which needs to register a DLL. The DLL registration is failing because the Batch file is not starting the command prompt as \"administrator\".

Answer 1

To prevent the script from failing when the script file resides on a non system drive (c:) and in a directory with spaces.

Batch_Script_Run_As_Admin.cmd

@echo off
if _%1_==_payload_  goto :payload

:getadmin
    echo %~nx0: elevating self
    set vbs=%temp%\getadmin.vbs
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^)                >> "%vbs%"
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "payload %~sdp0 %*", "", "runas", 1 >> "%vbs%"
    "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
goto :eof

:payload
