Hi, all,
I have an old VB6 application which should run on
Windows 7 (with UAV set to the default level, 3 of 4 IMHO). It has the functionality to update itself, and
Windows 7 is now complaining that it would modify the computer (At least
windows 7 is right here).
I was able to run it in
Vista with some kind of manifest file, but this does not seem to work anymore (which is the intended behaviour if I think of it).
The manifest file is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity version="1.1.0.24" processorArchitecture="X86" name="IKOfficeAppStarter" type="win32"/>
<description>IKOffice Starter</description>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.
Windows.Common-Controls"
version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="true"/>
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>
The manifest can be found near the exe "IKOffice Starter.exe" and is called "IKOffice Starter.exe.manifest", which should be okey.
Currently the Shield Icon has gone from my .exe, but when try to start the
software, i get the message "Der angeforderte Vorgang erfordert höhere Rechte", or translated to english "the requested operation requires elevation".
What can I do to stop
windows to bug me anymore, so I can install this application on our clients computers. Hey, I already told
Windows to run it as Invoker, so why is it still complaining?
