Topic: Administrative access.

Hi all,..
just a simple question for you guys..

most of AutoDESK HotFix are simble DBX or DLL files that need to be copied is autoCAD direcory.
(no installation).

so the problem is "Program files" need admin rights to copy files.
the goal is that i'm trying to modify the nework acaddoc.lsp allowing to make this update.
but without permission,...I'll have to copy this file on each PC machine one by one with admin login.

is anyone have any idea on how I can manage this ?
even VBS seem not working..

Thank you.

I would hope so - if it was that easy to bypass security restrictions they wouldn't be much good.

Copy the files using batch file or similar, run with admin credentials.  Or better yet users should have local admin rights, as it's necessary for many programs to run properly.

I agree,..

however, when AutoDESK provide HotFix,..they should provde installation instead of replacing files on non admin folder.

by chance I've only 413 cad user to install this..

problem fixed by creating installation EXE with admin rights.
then execute the EXE via acaddoc.lsp.

Thank you.
