a convient (Windows) command-line utility for running processes as TrustedInstaller.
Important
TrustedInstaller is the equivalent of the superuser in Linux; THIS WILL GRANT MORE PRIVILEGES THAN MICROSOFT'S SUDO
Note
THIS PROJECT DEPENDS ON MinSudo. this project is literally a wrapper for it.
simply run sudo in any command prompt, let that be powershell or command prompt, and then it'll upgrade it to TrustedInstaller. (in some edge cases, it makes a new window. wtf?)
Warning
TrustedInstaller is extremely privilleged. Treat it as the superuser in Linux, as it really is.
Maybe at some point i'll add functionality to run other executables by sudo instead of just opening the prompt.
copy both MinSudo.exe and sudo.exe to the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\system32 folder. (or you can simply add it to the PATH)
How does it work
I'm too lazy to actually make something work and run as TrustedInstaller, so this project depends on MinSudo
Don't worry, the 'installer' will download it for you.
x64?
its compiled for x64
x32?
okay, just compile for x32 bit and download the 32 bit of MinSudo
Maybe at some point i'll provide 32 bit binaries, but remember, 32 bit is a thing of the past!
Linux?
?????
simply type sudo and you're done, no fancy guis, no need to type out a long command.
try to delete some random file in system32, say, for example, hal.dll, it will say something along the lines of you need permission from TrustedInstaller to delete this file
So in other words, TrustedInstaller is the "system account" with the highest privilleges, this is the equivalent of the sudo command in unix systems.
tl;dr TrustedInstaller is the superuser in Windows.
