launch program as administrator

[COSMED]

Hello,

I use LaunchAppAndWait and I set before laaw_shallexecuteverb as "runas".
My problem is that, during installation, this produce a trigger a User Account Control (UAC) prompt for consent or credentials. Is there a way to avoid this?

Thank you in advance for your reply

Thank you J_anitha for your reply.

I launch the program from system folder. Is this the problem?

You can try adding the program under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags, with RUNASADMIN value, just before launching it with LaunchApp API.

if the main program, the setup program is launched with admin rights, so will be the child process(without the need to do something extra).
