Use of RunAs Dll in NSIS
Hello,

I need to install an exe for a normal user by passing admin uid n pwd to method of RunAs Dll. For this there is a plugin available : http://nsis.sourceforge.net/NSIS-RunAs

But I am not able to use the RunAs::RunAsW correctly. Everytime it returns 0. I found 1 - 2 similar examples here on discussion forum but its not useful. Can somebody give working example or any sort of source code?

Thanks.

Please go through Solution of this problem
Hello,

Finally somehow I managed to found the solution and it does work on VISTA and XP! I am attaching the source code. please check it. To test it, you need RunAs.Dll in the same directory where nsis file is , second replace the adobe flash, shockwave and jre with "$WINDIR\System32\cmd.exe" . This will be the file that you want to run. in actual program i execute 3 exe files. Next replace the values of $1 and $2 with actual administrator id password.

Hope this works and helps to 1000s of others!

Thanks.
