Subject: How about a 64-bit installer that doesn't require UAC?
Date: Sat, 02 Nov 2013 20:43:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <527563E7.70508@brazier.com> (raw)
Yes, I could try to change the application manifest myself, but that
seems esoteric and I haven't been able to find any GPL tool. See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/741726/diagnosing-windows-application-manifests,
for example. Same for the solutions noted here
http://superuser.com/questions/24631/prevent-elevation-uac-for-an-application-that-doesnt-need-it.
From the application manifest of setup-x86_64.exe:
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator"
uiAccess="false" />
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
