Hi Eric,
You can tell an exe to request admin privileges by altering the
manifest file in the exe. I have some instructions for doing this here:

You can also use a VBScript to request that something be run with
admin privileges. I have some code where I put the following in a vbs
file and run it. In my case I am running another vbs file. The key
param is "runas". You might also be able to launch another exe this
way. The contents of the vbs file is:
CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute "wscript.exe", "C:\Path
\To\File.vbs", "", "runas", 1
