Java: Unable to access jarfile when running as an admin

Viewed 10273

I have a jar file named test.jar, which I am running with a batch script from the same folder. Here's the batch code:

java -jar test.jar
pause

The jar itself works with no problems, and I can run it just fine. However, if I try to run the batch file as an administrator (by right clicking it and choosing "Run as Administrator"), I get the following error:

Error: Unable to access jarfile test.jar

I'm using Windows 8.1, but this also happened on a machine running Windows 7. What can I do to be able to run this as an Administrator?
