The problem is that I am creating a utility program, intended to be run by ordinary users, which will check whether there is a new version of certain proprietary software on the server, and download and install it if it finds an update. On a Unix or Linux machine, I would set this app to run under a privileged user ID. Is there a Windows version of this capability?
