I\'m working on the bootstrap application of a new installer for some of our products. So far, I\'ve been relying on two things that I read about somewhere:
When I couldn't find application manifest as a new item that could be added to my project, I went into the online help and found this:
configure the VS2008 in Configuration Properties - Linker - Manifest File - UAC Execution Level (requireAdministrator)
That did the trick.
