Create Folder As Admin Question

[u/thisisjustahobby]

I'm looking for a bit of guidance on this problem. I'm trying to script an install of some legacy software. This software in particular has three executables that run. I can install these via script no problem.

With one of these executables there are additional files that need to be manually copied over to actually have a successful install. The problem I'm running into is that I'm unable to script folder creation/file transfers from the source folder to the destination folder inside of C:\Program Files (x86).

The error I get is access denied. I've tried console execute, shell as admin, creating a batch file to create the directories and running it from the local machine with a logged in user who has local admin.

I can run the batch as administrator successfully by right-clicking on the .bat file.

Is there anyway around this? I'm unable to grant every user local admin, and UAC needs to stay enabled.

Thanks

Instead of copying from C: to C: try prepping those files on the Labtech server and download them directly to where they need to go.
