Bonjour Trevor (and Matthias too :-)
Thanks for having given me hints.
Actually, my problem is a bit more complicated:
I have a Rev exe that is running.
It would download an installer stack from the internet.
Without closing the running exe, I would want to run it as admin on-
the-fly :-)
Then install files in program files (i.e. replace some separate
stacks) and finally restore usual rights...
Last step could be skipped ;-)
Why do I want to do this is just would allow me to build my own
installer instead of downloading a 'regular' installer that would do
the job without problem.

Because this way of doing (as does any installer) would be by far
preferable...
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:

Vista-Manifest-To-a-Revolution-Executable>
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
