Win7: Will doing "Run as administrator" on a .BAT file allow regsvr32 enough privlieges to register a DLL or OCX?

Solution 1
There can be difficulties with running .BAT
files if you need it to run with administrator access. If right-clicking on the .bat
file and choosing run as administrator doesn't work, then try starting an elevated command prompt and running the .bat
file from there.
Solution 2
"Run as administrator" should provide sufficient permissions if the user account can use that function.

?The .bat file contains:
regsvr32 -u SomeOCX.ocx regsvr32 SomeOCX.ocx
Or, does the logged in user need to be an administrator?

If the account is not an admin account, they will be asked for valid credentials with which to run the .bat file.
