If I understand what you are asking for, you want to automate the User Account Control (UAC) elevation prompt where you need to fill in the admin username and password, is that right?  I see two issues going on here. 

Firstly, the #RequireAdmin declaration essentially pauses the script until either the elevation token (admin right) is obtained, or the script aborts if it fails to obtain the elevation token.

Secondly, depending on how UAC is configured, It is possible (and likely) that the UAC elevation prompt runs in a separate, secure desktop which can not be interacted with by an AutoIt script.

Yes correct, could you please share that script?

Which one did you want?

The one that has to be aborted, or the one that cannot interact with the desktop?

You need to be an Administrator.

Again, you would need to be an administrator to start with.

Unless I misinterpreted your text, you are a user that would like to do something that only an Administrator can but you are not an administrator.
Talk to the administrator for the PC you would like to add the software to.

Automating or bypassing security controls--UAC included--is not permitted to discuss per the forum rules.

If you need help automating the installer itself, after the process elevation has occurred, we can assist; but I recommend moving forward assuming the operator will need to enter appropriate credentials to elevate the script upon execution.  If this is for an enterprise environment, a software deployment solution could be used to address the elevation need, but you will likely be better suited to look into silent install methods as interaction probably won't work.

Just noticed that typing "forum rules" acts like a keyword and automatically links to the post. NICE!

Correct, I added a couple "phrases" since the last upgrade that are commonly used by us.
