Run As Administrator

Post by JRL » Thu Aug 15, 2024 1:26 pm

I find myself writing more and more scripts that require admin privileges to run. After the script is working I will almost always compile it then right click the executable in Windows Explorer and choose the "Run as administrator" menu item. Problem is that while creating the script I have to do this same process to test any changes. Either that or run Macro Scheduler as administrator which presents an entirely different set of challenges.

I'm wondering if the Macro Scheduler main menu could have a selection to run an uncompiled script as administrator? Or... or maybe both... could Macro Scheduler installation add a Windows Explorer right click menu option for "Run as administrator"?

I realize this will not affect running in the debugger which would also often be handy but probably really does require running Macro Scheduler as Admin.

As always, Thank you for your consideration and thank you for the best product ever created.

Dick
