patch.exe.manifest file, but I'll implement that in a later ticket.
I cannot resist quoting my own comment above:
* It is NOT merely copying an extra file somewhere. One has to use a
Microsoft installer to cook up this "security exception", or an equivalent
convoluted procedure requiring editing the registry and god knows what
else (reading MS documentation on this stuff makes your head spin...)
