What is it you are trying to achieve? Install a font on a windows system What is the problem you are having? Can't get admin permission Describe what you have tried to solve this problem Can't do anything to fix it Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Unless you own the computer, you shouldn't have administrator rights. Either ask the administrator to install the font or use a font that's already installed. If you own the computer, then you should already have the admin password to do it yourself. |

It looks like you're trying to bypass the admin rights, and you can't do that, as that would be dangerous for your OS. Sorry if I understood incorrectly though. :/ |

You could always try the Sys.Exec functions and do something like
Where <command> is some windows command for installing a font (don't know what exactly off the top of my head). Of course this requires the user to type in the admin password but that's probably inevitable. |
