On windows 64bit, install.bat can't be elevated when started by an 32-bit App

[Mark-Joy]

Here is a given example:
On windows 64bit, Inside Freecommand 32 bit, start install.bat resulted in Cannot elevate administrator privilege

[blackcrack]

open Explorer, right mouse, start as Administrator..
or open an Administrator cmd instance ,
go into the decompressed folder, start the install bat.

FreeCommander is not supported,
or it is anywhere described ?

[Mark-Joy]

Man... I know how to use explorer, I know how to make install.bat works. Do you think I don't know that when I specified that only 32bit File Manager can't be used to start install.bat on Windows 64bit?
And Freecommand 32 bit is just an example, OK?
If you can't make any helpful comment, then hold it into your deep guru knowlege!
What the point of your comment anyway, not useful, not helpful, then just shut it!

Just want to raise the issue here to let others know.

No need to be a jerk. You can open the batch file and see exactly how its trying to get admin, it just writes a temporary vbs script to run ShellExecute and call UAC. As far as I know, this should not be affected by the bit-depth of the system. Third party file explorers are likely not in the scope of support for this, especially considering the already stressed amount of support the project gets.

I dont need to look at any account, and you don't have to call me dumb. The whole point of open source is you don't have to ask someone else to look at something, you can just look at it yourself

The batch file checks to see if it already is running as administrator, if not, it checks the error code to see if elevation is possible for the logged on user, if it isn't it prints a error asking to try elevating manually, if it is, it writes a quick vbs script containing two lines, one where it creates a shell.application object, and the other where it calls UAC.ShellExecute to attempt elevation to run runas, switch to the directory the batch file is in, and finally register the libraries with the system.
