Right-click the program file and select "Properties" from the drop-down (towards the bottom). Next, select the "Compatibility" tab. Towards the bottom, under "Privilege Level," you should see a check box next to "Run this program as an administrator." Check this box and hit OK to save your changes. This will effectively set the application to always be run with administrator privileges. </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/windows/windows-7-run-program-as-administrator-by-default#post-403 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 17:17:53 +0000 sBiz101 403@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>I know I can run a Windows 7 program as administrator by right-clicking and selecting "run as administrator." But is there a way to get it to always run as administrator. In other words - by simply left-clicking the icon and not always having to go through the right-click process?</p> <p>Any help is much appreciated! </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/windows/vista-msi-run-as-administrator#post-73 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:47:41 +0000 Woofus 73@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>Hi Sally,</p> <p>Crazy timing with your question! I just asked the same question in another forum. Here's the working solution I found: Create a .reg file containing the following code, and run it:</p> <p><code>Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00</p> <p>[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Msi.Package\shell\RunAs]<br /> @="Run as administrator"</p> <p>[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Msi.Package\shell\RunAs\command]<br /> @="msiexec /i \"%1\""</code> </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/windows/vista-msi-run-as-administrator#post-71 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:45:44 +0000 Sally301 71@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>Is there a way to run a Windows Vista MSI installer as Administrator? This is driving me crazy - I've been trying to install an .MSI installer to no avail. The installation will run smoothly until the very end, when I get an internal error and the installer crashes, and rolls back everything it did.</p> <p>I'm guessing this has to do with running the software as an administrator, so I've tried finding an EXE version of the installer, so I can right-click in the context menu and select "Run as administrator" - but no luck.</p> <p>I don't suppose there's a way to force MSI install files to run with administrator privileges? </p>
