Java: unable to access jarfile when run as administrator

I have a jar file called test.jar that I run with a script package from the same folder. Here's the batch code:

java -jar test.jar pause

The bank itself works without problems, and I can run it just fine. However, if I try to run the batch file as an administrator (by right-clicking on it and selecting "Run as administrator"), I get the following error:

 Error: Unable to access jarfile test.jar

I am using Windows 8.1, but this also happened on a machine running Windows 7. What can I do to run this as an administrator?

I had the same problem that you and I solved it by changing

 java -jar test.jar

to

 java -jar %~dp0test.jar

% ~ dp0 contains the directory of your bat file (AFAIK), so% ~ dp0 will provide Java with the full path to the jar file, solving the problem.

path = C: \ Program Files \ Java \ jre1.8.0_40 \ bin Java script Path =
