Run As Administrator if possible, if not: run with limited privileges?

You can use a manifest that asks for highestAvailable instead of requireAdministrator or asInvoker. This will elevate if a person who can just consent to elevating is running it, but won't if it's someone who would need the OTS prompt and entering an admin id and password. I don't care for it myself, since you can't write your code in confidence knowing whether you have the privileges or not.

But this is how to achieve what you're asking for.

I need to change the behavior of my application depending on user privileges: When my application can run as Administrator When my application has limited privileges Since "requireAdministrator" is embedded within the manifest, the same . Exe can't work on (1) and (2) at the same time. What's the best way to deal with this issue?

I am planning to pack two executables (one with "requireAdministrator") and decide which one to run. Someone have other suggestions? Windows-7 windows-vista uac link|improve this question asked Nov 18 '10 at 1:38sw.1,014513 55% accept rate.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
