Hello,

I would like to call a batchfile within the elevate.cmd/vbs
scripts found at [1].

But I have a problem within that combination of cmd/vbs script(s)

I'm in a path like: "C:\Program Files\Best Prog" and have there a
batchfile "mybatch.bat". I also have somewhere in the searchpath
a batchfile svctest.bat that looks like:

---snip---
net start | findstr /C:%~1 >nul
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto END
if ERRORLEVEL 0 goto SVCACTION

:SVCACTION
elevate mybatch.bat "%~f1"

:END
---snap---

But if my script mybatch.bat is called from that dir but through
svctest.bat. wich calls the elevate.cmd/vbs script, the wscipt/cscript
changes the active directory to the %SystemRoot% (tested in
mybatch with %CD%) and my batchfile won't work.

How can I change to or reside in the active diretory from
where I called my batchfile mybatch.bat with svctest.bat
(which will reside in an another direcotry, eventually)?

Would be good if I don't have to change the directory with the
called mybatch.bat file

First I tried to introduce a new var in elevate.cmd

set ELEVATE_PATH=%CD%

then I could use:

strAppPath = objWshProcessEnv("ELEVATE_PATH")

in the elevate.vbs script to have the path in the vbs script.
But a line like:

objWshShell.CurrentDirectory = strAppPath

before the execution of the line

objShell.ShellExecute strApplication, strArguments, "", "runas"

doesn't help and even to set the path like:

objShell.ShellExecute strApplication, strArguments, strAppPath, "runas"

doesnt work :-(

Does anybody has an idea how to achieve that?
