Can AIR applicaiton request elevation to admin privileges on Windows 7

Question

Can AIR applicaiton request elevation to admin privileges at startup? I need access database installed along with the applicaiton and having issues with it. It works only when I manually start it with "Run as administration" via menu.

@xchg.ca I never found a way to get admin permission with an AIR package. So I just included the necessary app files in an LZMA zipped package, copied it from the install folder to the application storage folder (File.applicationStorageDirectory) and unzipped everything there. You have permissions in that folder. The only way to execute system commands on Windows without admin permissions was to put all the commands in a .bat file and just have the native process execute the .bat file. Hope this helps. It took me a while to figure this out as their are no docs on this. Hope this helps
