Download my presentation about Delphi and UAC from http://www.meetup.com/delphi-sthlm/files/

Look at slide 37 to 40 about how you add a manifest that requires the exe-file to execute as administrator.

When a customer installs my program on a windows vista computer, I have to show them how to;
1. Locate my program (I put it in a new folder on the C:\ drive)
2. Right click my appliaction.exe file
3. Select the Comapibility tab.
4. Check the box “Run as Administrator”
Only then when will my program run correctly.

Obviously, this is a little annoying and puts off some of my customers.
My question is;
Is there a way to Run my application automatically as an administrator or in the alternative, automatically get the users permission to run my appliaction as an Administrator.

Kind Regards
Steve

Jag använder Embarcadero Rad Studio 2009 under Vista 32. Jag vill köra program som administratör via Delphi kod. Jag hittade din blog.
