"Run as TrustedInstaller" from Context menu

With "C:\Portable Programs\Notepad2" this is what I get using your script and mine :



I only used your script for folders. This:

Code:

reg add "HKCR\Directory\shell\Open command window as TrustedInstaller here" /v "Extended" /t REG_SZ /d "" /f
reg add "HKCR\Directory\shell\Open command window as TrustedInstaller here" /v "Icon" /t REG_SZ /d "imageres.dll,263" /f
reg add "HKCR\Directory\shell\Open command window as TrustedInstaller here\command" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "\"C:\Windows\System32\PowerRun.exe\" \"cmd.exe\" /k" /f

pause

 

@retest can you please test doggie-ones iirc 1 page back, the way it invokes TI is a bit different. the sudo files are expected to be in system32, the other wont harm.

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

 

works for exes. but did not create a reg key for folders.

i tried this for folders

Code:

reg add "HKCR\Directory\shell\Open command window as TrustedInstaller here\command" /ve /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "cmd.exe  /X /D /U /R for %%%%# in (\"%%1\") do PowerRun.exe \"/WD:%%%%~dp#\" \"%%1\"" /f

got a flash of a cmd window.
-----
tried (used /k with cmd)

Code:

reg add "HKCR\Directory\shell\Open command window as TrustedInstaller here\command" /ve /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "cmd.exe /K for %%%%# in (\"%%1\") do PowerRun.exe \"/WD:%%%%~dp#\" \"%%1\"" /f

got this cmd window and a additional explorer window. PRun expects a executable I suppose. the cmd window is not TI.

But the /WD is a good idea.

 

Then it (mine) needs explicitely the reg addresses from the other solution ... so directory and some more ... not \*\ --- now i get it 'oh³:

If you can test...will tinker later and report.

 

@freddie-o,

Do you know the workaround I did to fix the problem of WorkingDir ending up in System32?

I applied the same redundancy to this for Open Here feature.

Since some people said it wasn't working on their machines, it works fine on our machines, and we have different results, since we already have some things fixed on our machines.

And I also added the Open here from PoweShell.

Code:

This error has nothing to do with the "Open Here" changes.
I'm also getting this error, now. But it is related to download URL. This has been changed or protected. If you manually put the PowerRun.zip in next to script, it is installed.

edit: New link adds the version to the filename:

Code:

REM set "DownloadURI=https://www.sordum.org/files/download/power-run/PowerRun.zip"
set "DownloadURI=https://www.sordum.org/files/download/power-run/PowerRun_v1.7.zip"

 

Just a suggestion.

I tried this in Powershell ISE and it worked :

Code:

(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://www.sordum.org/files/downloads.php?power-run', 'C:\TEMP\pr.zip')

If you use that URL even if the file name/version changes it will still work.

@freddie-o @inTerActionVRI

 

Yes. I also have doing something like this with PowerShell, but you brought it here first, thanks!
I am just like to get the file and bring the timestamp from server to save the file. But it not yet finished.
This helps the script determine whether the server file is up to date or not. Only then does the script decide whether to download it again.


EDIT:
@freddie-o,
replace from static url:

Code:

set "DownloadURI=https://www.sordum.org/files/download/power-run/PowerRun_v1.7.zip"

to dynamic url, like @retest show above:

Code:

set "DownloadURI=https://www.sordum.org/files/downloads.php?power-run"

 

I didn't feel like creating a new thread but wanted to share. Seemed relevant.

A batch to enable and disable context menu entries for setting the always run as admin flag for exe files.

Spoiler

Code:

@echo off
