AdobeCCUninstaller not launched with Admin privileges

Question

Hi,

I was preparing (with SCCM 2012) a package to install and uninstall the Adobe CC suite 2018 and I encountered a problem.

The installation package works correctly, but if I run the uninstall script with the command AdobeCCUninstaller.exe, I get the error message "AdobeCCUninstaller not launched with Admin privileges". How can I solve the problem?

Regards
