"Run as TrustedInstaller" from Context menu

The sec code is unique for each system and each windows installation in a system.

PRun saves all sec codes generated. So it is, kind of, portable.

 

nSudo have problems with latest insider & 24h2 version.
so i moved to God-Mode tool.

project page.

You might need a "if %arch%==x64 ..." for the start PRun commands.

Any particular reason you skipped the /wait in the second start?

-----
One more suggestion,

Since PRun will be available on the users system, add a option for folders to "Open command prompt here as TI".

What I use:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command Prompt here as TI\shell\35Command Prompt here as TI\command]
@="\"C:\\Portable Programs\\RunAsTI\\PowerRun64.exe\" cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\" & Title CMD as TI"

If the above can be improved : anyone, please comment.

 

It will patch only the PowerRun that was opened.
This is why the bellow method is effective. It will place the patched .ini in both Sustem32 and SysWOW64 folders.

There are no need to execute for specified PowerRun arch. Just open the x86 before copy .exe and .ini to system32.
The same ini will be used for any arch.

Then you can start PowerRun after it is extracted to the ROOT folder. Then the .ini patched by PowerRun will be placed correctly.
So the suggested adjustments to the code should be:

Code:

@echo OFF

@reg query HKU\S-1-5-19>nul 2>nul||(set 0="%~f0" %*&powershell -nop -c start cmd -args '/x/d/q/rcall',$env:0 -v runas&exit)

:menu
cd /d "%~dp0"

if /i "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" equ "amd64" (set "arch=x64") else (set "arch=%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%")
if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432%" neq "" if /i "%arch%" neq "x86" if /i "%arch%" neq "x64" start %SystemRoot%\Sysnative\cmd.exe /C "%~dpnx0" %* & exit

set "ROOT=%~dp0"
set "DownloadFileName=PowerRun.zip"
set "DownloadURI=https://www.sordum.org/files/download/power-run/PowerRun.zip"

Will die with Win 11 - R.I.P.!!!!

.

 

Has already died with the advent of Win11. Server-side, it's dead for years and already smelling bad.

x86 has a historical problem, though. Tons and tons of software, either totally or partially 32bit. Many installers are, too. And who knows what else and where else 32bit code is still used in Windows. At least WoW64 will be with us for the foreseeable future.

We managed to finally get rid of 16bit code, though.

 

Wtarkan is cool too ... :blush: ...

 

If you look at the download scheme I made in my script, it is only to check if the zip file present (already downloaded) is the same as the one on the server. If the dates are different, we know that there is a new version of PowerRun, so it downloads the new version.

Is it possible to improve this system to remove the old version, in case a new download occurs due to the presence of a new version of PowerRun on the server.
So, user don't need to uninstall and then reinstall in the case of new version.

What do you think about this?


EDIT: You told me that you dont have enabled BITS. So, nevermind.

 

Yes, it works. You will have to convert the reg code to bat code. Should be easy.

I use AutoIt so I cannot post the code.

This is the entire reg key, you will have to modify it a bit. Same code for Drive & Background.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command Prompt here as TI\shell\35Command Prompt here as TI]
@="use PowerRun"
"MUIVerb"="use PowerRun"
"Icon"="\"C:\\Portable Programs\\RunAsTI\\PowerRun64.exe\", 0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command Prompt here as TI\shell\35Command Prompt here as TI\command]
@="\"C:\\Portable Programs\\RunAsTI\\PowerRun64.exe\" cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\" & Title CMD as TI"

using RegConverter https://www.sordum.org/8478/reg-converter-v1-2/
:

Code:

Title Reg Converter v1.2 & Color 1A



Reg.exe add "HKCR\Directory\shell\Command Prompt here as TI\shell\35Command Prompt here as TI" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "use PowerRun" /f
Reg.exe add "HKCR\Directory\shell\Command Prompt here as TI\shell\35Command Prompt here as TI" /v "MUIVerb" /t REG_SZ /d "use PowerRun" /f
Reg.exe add "HKCR\Directory\shell\Command Prompt here as TI\shell\35Command Prompt here as TI" /v "Icon" /t REG_SZ /d "\"C:\Portable Programs\RunAsTI\PowerRun64.exe\", 0" /f
Reg.exe add "HKCR\Directory\shell\Command Prompt here as TI\shell\35Command Prompt here as TI\command" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "\"C:\Portable Programs\RunAsTI\PowerRun64.exe\" cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%%V\" & Title CMD as TI" /f
Exit

EDIT : I got it from here : https://github.com/mspaintmsi/superUser/issues/12

 

Thanks guys, is now next to 'Run as Admin' here . And Part of my REG-Skript. Doggie ist thankfull!!!

 

BTW: Instead of explicit Reg-Keys i use:

Code:

reg add "HKCR\*\shell\Run as TrustedInstaller" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "Run as TrustedInstaller" /f
reg add "HKCR\*\shell\Run as TrustedInstaller" /v "Icon" /t REG_SZ /d "imageres.dll,208" /f
reg add "HKCR\*\shell\Run as TrustedInstaller\command" /v "" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "cmd.exe /X /D /U /R for %%%%# in (\"%%1\") do PowerRun_x64.exe \"/WD:%%%%~dp#\" \"%%1\"" /f >nul 2>&1

The \*\shell will install to all keys with \shell

REG_EXPAND_SZ is found, can't remember where ...

 

I have a nifty tool from @wtarkan that converts REG >> CMD. I use it for picky Reg strings -- export it as REG directly -- convert and check CMD, it will show, how it should look.

#NIFTY

 

@freddie-o

There is a difference between my code and yours.

With my code if I right-click folder 'C:\Portable Programs\Notepad2' and click 'open command prompt here as ti", the command window is opened and CDed to 'C:\Portable Programs\Notepad2'. So I can run notepad2.exe from the command window without having to manually CD to 'C:\Portable Programs\Notepad2'.
That's why the menu item has a "here".

With your code the command window will open at system32, I think.

 

Tool is in maintenance so no push so far .
