I need to run a batch file which needs to register a DLL. The DLL registration is failing because the Batch file is not starting the command prompt as "administrator".

Is there any way to start the "Command Prompt" as administrator through the batch file.

Environment: Win7/Vista

To prevent the script from failing when the script file resides on a non system drive (c:) and in a directory with spaces.

Batch_Script_Run_As_Admin.cmd

@echo off
if _%1_==_payload_  goto :payload

:getadmin
    echo %~nx0: elevating self
    set vbs=%temp%\getadmin.vbs
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^)                >> "%vbs%"
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "payload %~sdp0 %*", "", "runas", 1 >> "%vbs%"
    "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
goto :eof

:payload
