How to run external program with admin rights + in specific folder, possible?

I don't understand what you want to do, please provide additional details.

Maybe this is what you want to do:

fn main() {
    let mut cmd = std::process::Command::new("bash");
    let output = cmd.args(["-c", "pwd; cd ../; pwd"]).output().unwrap();
    println!("{:#?}", std::str::from_utf8(&*output.stdout).unwrap());
}

You can run it on Rust Explorer playground.

The command is run by the user that run the rust program. Thus you need to run it as a root user.

In this case the external program is pwd. You can cd to move to the directory from where you want to execute the program.

I need to run program, it must be ran with admin rights because i get error

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Os { code: 740, kind: Uncategorized, message: "The requested operation requires elevation." }', src\starter.rs:16:84
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
[0815/194144.716:ERROR:window_impl.cc(114)] Failed to unregister class Chrome_WidgetWin_0. Error = 0

You need to run the rust program as administrator.

I believe the command for Windows is

fn main() {
    let mut cmd = std::process::Command::new("cmd");
    let output = cmd.args(["/C", "pwd; cd ../; pwd"]).output().unwrap();
    println!("{:#?}", std::str::from_utf8(&*output.stdout).unwrap());
}

I'm running Linux, I can't test it for you.
