[Question]Force Run As Admin

Hey how do you guys make the program administrator mandatory. So the program always needs to be run as admin.

Not a problem, I am making a full tutorial, as I said It will be in the vb section soon.

Edit: Actually No need to

added a screenshot

In either case

Show All files in your Solutions Explorer

Navigate to the Bin Folder ----> Debug ----> Applicationname.Vshost.exe.Manifest File

Double Click it and

add this code

[php]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<asmv1:assembly manifestVersion="1.0"
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"
xmlns:asmv1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"
xmlns:asmv2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" name="MyApplication.app"/>
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</asmv1:assembly>
[/php]

Replacing it with the existing code

or

Use the existing code

Code:

<?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" name="MyApplication.app"/>
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
    <security>
      <requestedPrivileges xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
        <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false"/>
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
  </trustInfo>
</assembly>

The information is as follows

requireAdministrator:
highestAvailable:
asInvoker: Vb.net Default

So for this particular case it would be

Code:

<?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" name="MyApplication.app"/>
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
    <security>
      <requestedPrivileges xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
        <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator:" uiAccess="false"/>
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
  </trustInfo>
</assembly>

I was going to make a full Tutorial with how to use this, plus how to use it on a per sub basis, meaning if you want to require admin for a specific part of the code, but there is no need.

Hope this helps
