Unfortunately, you can't pass any password parameter to runas. The only way
to do this eventually is to use some vbs script which will handle the
password typing [1].

as a local user but from your last forum post i also understand that you
want to install with administrator privileges. If you want to install with
administrator privileges, then there is no need to use RUNAS since
FusionInventory-Agent is run as a SYSTEM service, therefore it has been
privileged to install anything like an Administrator.

Unlike MSI, you should keep in mind that EXE installers are made from
various installer frameworks (like NSIS, INSTALLSHIELD,...) .

Fusioninventory-agent seems to work correctly on your setup and the only
blocker is the runas command asking for a password interactively.
