Using QT Creator how can I set the execution level as requireAdministrator

Question

Basically I need to be able to edit files that require administrator privileges to edit. I know that in Visual Studio a manifest file is used for this - but I understand QT

Answer 1

This code compatible with Qt and Visual Studio 2015 IDE.

QMAKE_LFLAGS += /MANIFESTUAC:$$quote(\"level=\'requireAdministrator\' uiAccess=\'false\'\")
