    I have written a batch file that uninstalls some software then installs a newer version. I have to run this on 70 workstations so need it to be as quick as possible and don't want to log off, log on as admin etc. All users are power users, so the setup.exe file runs correctly when called, but it will not let me uninstall when logged on as anything other than administrator.


    The line that fails is one that calls c:\winnt\isuninst as only administrators have the rights to uninstall software aparently. Is there any switch I can add to this to enable the user account to run this file?
