# RunAsTrustedInstaller

- Windows command-line utility to run programs with TrustedInstaller privileges
2
+ A Windows command-line utility to run programs with TrustedInstaller privileges.
3

+ ## Description
5
+ On Windows, TrustedInstaller privileges sometimes can be helpful to modify/delete criticial system files/folders that are protected by the OS.
6
+ Likewise, there might be a need to deal with certain Registry keys that are protected with an ACL which restricts access the TrustedInstaller account.
7
+ The utility was developed as a standalone executable and does not require any installation.
