I have spent the last couple of days looking for a solution to my problem. It's been quite a while (10 years) since I programmed seriously, so I'm a little out of the loop. The last environment I used was Delphi 5 on Win 2K.
What I'm looking for is way to request admin privileges when the program launches. This is a Windows only program by design, so multiplatform does not interest me.
I've searched for the last 2 days for an answer, but have been unable to find one. If there is a link that someone knows about, it would be great if you could direct me there.
Windows 7 platform
Thanks,
Jeff
Edit-> Ok, so I've figured out that I need to request the permissions in the manifest file, but evertime I edit it, then compile, it gets changed back to "asInvoker" for the permissions request. How can I include the manifest file without haveing the compiler auto-create the manifest evertime I try to compile.
