how to run exe as administrator?

Post by KrekerMeister »

There is a clean guest session (guest additions are enabled and working). I'm trying to run my compiled autoit script (exe), the script installs applications and makes some changes to the system. It only requires admin rights. An attempt through runas in cmd gives nothing, the cmd process in a new session (IGuestSession) is simply created and does not move anywhere. In any case, the runas session gui does nothing. Is there a way to run and make changes?

I get into the windows session through the terminal

Is this a question meant for the VirtualBox API subforum? ;)

Undoubtedly, as that is where the OP has posted all of their other questions. Topic moved.
