PowerPro installer currently requests to set "Run as administrator"
workaround on the executable. Right now PowerPro uses an external
manifest file - this would have to be changed to an internal one (just
add it to the resource file), and you'd need to add one of the
following things to the manifest:
- option 1: always require administrative privileges
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator"
uiAccess="false" />
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
This would work just like setting "Run this program as
administrator" in PowerPro.exe properties.
- option 2: use the uiAccess flag to let PowerPro manipulate elevated
programs without being elevated itself:
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="true" />
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
This would let PowerPro do it's thing without requiring elevation.
However, uiAccess flag requires that the executable is signed, and
must be installed in a secure location (Program Files).
Unfortunately, since AuthentiCode certificates aren't cheap, the
first option is more realistic for PowerPro.
