Scott Kane posted that tip in July. ( It was "update.exe")
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg96909.html
In one of my apps I now install the executable with a name of
"update.exe" just so that it can set the registry on first run even if
Vista uac is on. Then it changes its name to a more reasonable one
just before quitting the first run.

So... let me rephrase that question. Is there a way to run my app in
administrator modus, without having to ask the user to open the

window and set admin mode manually?
There is a way that I read about and I'm not sure that I remember it
exactly, but apparently if your app's file name is "Install.exe" or
maybe it was "Setup.exe", then Vista automatically puts you into admin
mode. This seems such an enormous security flaw that I can't believe
they actually do it, but you might like to give it a test.
