Microsoft Manifest

Post by migro » Sun Mar 02, 2008 12:26 pm

Hi together,

is it possible in any way to integrate a Microsoft manifest for Windows Vista UAC, when compiling a macro?
In the Moment I'm bypassing a manifest-file e.g. "MyMacro.exe.manifest" in the dir5ectory of the macro.

There's no way to bypass UAC. But you can create a manifest that sets the requestedExecutionLevel to Admin. The only way to embed this in the EXE itself would be to use a resource editor, e.g. XNResourceEditor: http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/d10resourceeditor.htm

Thanks Marcus for the great help.

I'm going to give it a try with the ressource-editor.
