Win7: Will doing “Run as administrator” on a .BAT file allow regsvr32 enough privlieges to register a DLL or OCX?

Question

Will doing "Run as administrator" on a .BAT file allow regsvr32 enough privlieges to register a DLL or OCX?

The .bat file contains:

regsvr32 -u SomeOCX.ocx
regsvr32 SomeOCX.ocx

Or, does the logged in user need to be an administrator?

Answer 1

if you not administrator then you cannot do "Run as administrator" (but you allways can use "RunAs")

and ofcouse "Run as administrator" gives you all necessary rights to do "regsvr32"

Answer 2

There can be issues with running .bat files by right-clicking and choosing Run as Administrator. Another option is to start an elevated command prompt and execute the .bat file from there.

Answer 3

run as administrator should allow it to register as long as it is setup by a domain administrator.

Did you tested it ?
