(CMDA) sudo for Windows

Here is a Windows batch file to provide a well known sudo console command like solution for Windows without the use of third party software. It is very useful for everyone who is using Windows as a standard user without administrative privileges. This script just encapsulates the CMD console command with the RUNAS console command. So the script acts as an ordinary CMD console command with all its known features.

Often you cannot run applications or execute console commands as standard user because you need administrative privileges. In this case you need to switch to an user with administrative privileges to do your work. Here CMDA is the solution because it runs any application or executes any console command passed to the script with administrative privileges. So you won't need to switch the user account anymore.

This script is called CMDA because it just executes the CMD console command with administrative privileges. It takes all the parameters that are supported by CMD console command and passes them through to the CMD console command itself. All given parameters will be respected during execution of the CMDA script. Anyway in order to using this script you will be asked for the Administrator password which is needed.

For questions and/or answers related to this script visit this thread at the NoAdmin.de forums.

Script

@ECHO OFF

REM Runs %COMSPEC% with arguments As local Administrator user  
REM All the given arguments will be passed through
REM Copyright 2008 by Markus Kwasnicki
REM Note to quote whitespaces  

SETLOCAL
SET ARGS=%*
RUNAS /PROFILE /ENV /USER:Administrator "%COMSPEC:"=\"% %ARGS:"=\"%"
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 PAUSE
ENDLOCAL

Download

Download the script from here.

Setup

To use this script you need to save it either as BAT or as CMD file respectively and place it inside a directory which is present in the path environment on your computer.

Usage

As an example to be able to change the firewall settings in the Control Panel of Windows) you need to run this script as follows: CMDA /C START firewall.cpl — Here the /C parameter closes the appearing console window immediatelly after a successfull returning of the script. With the START console command the wanted application (the firewall settings in this example) will be opened in a new process, so the console window in the background is not needed and can be closed. This way you can create a shortcut for any purpose you can imagine.

F.A.Q.

• Q: Where can I find documentation about modding the game?

  A: You can grab a little collection of basic information about modding from the above Download section here. There are a Soldiers: Heroes of World War II - Modding Knowledge Base and a Faces of War - Modding Knowledge Base respectively, made by the community, which provides a huge amount of advanced information, also.

• Q: After activating several mods the game does not start anymore!

  A: It is indeed possible to activate several mods together. But not all mods are compatible with each other. In some cases a misconfiguration occurrs preventing the game from starting. Because of that it is not possible to deactivate the mods in the game menu. This is where the ModChanger comes handy. With the ModChanger you can deactivate the mods before starting the game. The misconfiguration will be removed directly from the configuration files.

• Q: An error message appears that says: Unable to retrieve "Application Path" from Registry!

  A: This is happening...

  1. ...if you have reinstalled Windows but not the game too.
  2. ...if you are using an older game installation with a NoCD solution ;-)

  In both cases the needed registry information is missing.

  Explanation: This tool looks in the registry for a key to determine the installation path of the application. But if this registry key is missing this tool cannot determine the application path and so it cannot work properly.

  Solution: Here is a little workaround to solve this issue:

  1. Win+Run the regedit.exe (Registry-Editor).
  2. Create the following Registry-Path:
     • SHoWW2: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Codemasters\Soldiers - Heroes of World War II
     • FoW: \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ubisoft\Faces of War
  3. Inside this Registry-Path create the following String-Key:
     • SHoWW2: INSTALL_PATH
     • FoW: InstallPath
  4. The String-Key should contain the exact path to the main game folder (e.g. D:\Programme\Codemasters\Soldiers - Heroes of World War II).

  After this workaround the (SHoWW2|FoW) - ModChanger should work properly.

• Q: Why the (SHoWW2|FoW) - ModChanger still does not work properly?

  A: Please make sure you have (re)installed the game correctly.
