Use the Run As function. Right click the executable and select Run As. From there you can enter the Admin username and password.

Re: installing software as admin without logging off current non-admin user in Windows XP
I should point out here that runas is not reliable. I have encountered some installations where, after the installation process runs for some time (minutes), I get a pop-up saying that this application will NOT install with runas but requires an administrator be logged on. I can't remember which it was, but I encountered this either with GoogleEarth or with MS Virtual Earth. Seems like a couple of others as well. However, runas is the first thing I try. Oh yeah, the Switch User option is gone if a machine is part of a domain. -- Richard D. McClary Systems Administrator, Information Technology Group ASPCA® 1717 S.
