How do I easily elevate when running a .jar file?
- by Merlyn Morgan-Graham
When trying to run an installer Jar file, I am getting an error saying that write access is denied to create a directory under the Program Files folder.
Right click - Run as Administrator is not available on Jar files (I assume because it is Java.exe that consumes them - they are not themselves treated as directly executable by the shell).
What is the quickest and simplest way to run a .Jar file with elevation?
I am evaluating this tool to recommend for our dev team, and they will manually install it on their boxes. I'd prefer an option that doesn't require them to type anything.
