I have a python app that requires elevated privileges on Vista when

that I can check if I have the correct privileges and if not relaunch
the app required privileges.

I have an application that uses something that auto updates but it may
not be the same process as yours. I have a "stub" executable that
checks a network location for a different copy of the "real" executable.
If one exists, it copies the exe to the application folder and executes
it. My solution for Vista - which works very well - is to put my
application in a folder C:\users\public\applications\myapplication.
This way there is no need for raised privileges.
The only problem with installing in public folder that is it allows
non-privileged (read: any) user to modify the program; which might be
unwanted for some apps.
