I need to copy a file into a folder using elevated privileges. A user prompt is fine.

IO.File.Copy(vSrcPath, vDestPath)

I'm getting

UnauthorizedAccessExption: Access to the path ... is denied.

How can I copy using admin privileges?

I tried finding the answer but most questions focus on avoiding the prompt. That isn't a problem.

Great! thanks. I guess that makes this a duplicate. Should I just delete this question? – D_Bester Jun 16 '16 at 15:39
Close it as a dupe of that - the more things pointing to a good answer, the better. EDIT: sorry, forgot I could do that myself – Ňɏssa Pøngjǣrdenlarp Jun 16 '16 at 15:40
