Custom manifest to make protected application run as admin

[Tony]

I was wondering what is the code i should input in the custom manifest to properly make my protected application run as an administrator in vista/7/8?

tried this and my application does not start
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false"/>
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>

Hi Tony,

The manifest text should be the following:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"> 
  <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0"
     processorArchitecture="X86"
     name="IsUserAdmin"
     type="win32"/> 
  <description>Description of your application</description> 
  <!-- Identify the application security requirements. -->
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
    <security>
      <requestedPrivileges>
        <requestedExecutionLevel
          level="requireAdministrator"
          uiAccess="false"/>
        </requestedPrivileges>
       </security>
  </trustInfo>
</assembly>

Im using this code on one of my applications and recently its being detected as a false detective from avast, i reported to avast many times that my file is clean and they still have not rectified the problem. Really frustrated.
Ive emailed the file to support@enigmaprotector.com

Hi Tony,

Avast changed the way they accept false detected samples, you need to use this form: http://www.avast.com/contact-form.php

Make sure you've noted there that there is a false alert on a file.

Try this way, it has to work.

I have send the form many times for weeks and still the same even after updates, not only avast but other antiviruses as well
only this gets detected, is there any better manifest so it wont be false detected

You may simple put this content in separate manifest file.

For example, if your main app file name is game.exe, then create a text file with the game.exe.manifest and put this manifest content into it.

This way will give you same effect as if you use this feature in Enigma Protector.
