#161992 - 2006-05-17 11:02 AM script to allow install of program without admin permissions
BarryWhite BarryWhite Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-10-24 Posts: 35 Loc: UK	Hello all, Is there a script to enable a user without local admin permissions to install a designated program? I have to create a .zap file for users to allow them to installed allocated programs via add/remove programs. Thanks for any suggestions. Baz

Runas is NOT secure. Users can see the username and password in the script and (ab)use them to login and do all kinds of nasty stuff. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

BarryWhite BarryWhite Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-10-24 Posts: 35 Loc: UK	Thanks Mart, I'll look into this. If i want to install a program would I do the following wkix32.exe progname.tok [progname.tok] runnas /user:administrator "\\server\path\setup.exe" /pass:password /tok:progname.tok Forgive me if this is wrong if I want to tokenise the file?, also will this use the local admin user?. Thanks Baz

There is also a readme file in the zip file for the program. Please take the time to read it and experiment with it before trying to use it in production.
