I have a msi installer that needs to be run in silent mode. For that I need to run the installer in silent mode through an elevated command prompt. How can I launch the cmd in elevated mode and then run the command to execute installer from that elevated cms using a batch file?

I need to schedule the batch file on a daily basis.So, I cannot enter the password every time. It has to be automated. Is there any other way out? – Siddhant

  1. Make a batch file and call the msi installer from it.
  2. Then create a shortcut to the batch file.
  3. Right click on the shortcut -> Properties -> Shortcut tab -> Advanced.
  4. Click Run as administrator. Execute the batch script from the shortcut.
  5. In the scheduler, give the path to this shortcut.

If you want all programs (including command prompt) to run in admin mode by default, then disable UAC by making enableLUA=0 in registry. Note that this change will prompt for system restart.

EnableLUA can be found under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.

Once the system comes up, then all programs will run in elevated (admin) mode by default.
