Help and Support

There is a scenario where an EXE requiring administrator privileges needs to run on a mounted disk, but it fails to run. What should I do to make it work?

welcome to the forum,

that works for me. many ways to run .exe with admin privleges, same as with any .exe

rclone: Version "v1.70.0" starting with parameters ["d:\\data\\rclone\\rclone.exe" "mount" "wasabi01:zork" "b:\\rclone\\mount\\wasabi01_zork" "--file-perms=0777" "--dir-cache-time=10s" "--log-file=.\\log.mount.wasabi01_zork.txt" "--log-level=DEBUG"]

runas /noprofile /user:administrator b:\rclone\mount\wasabi01_zork\fastcopy\fastcopy.exe
Enter the password for administrator:
Attempting to start b:\rclone\mount\wasabi01_zork\fastcopy\fastcopy.exe as user "EN10\administrator" ...
