I am working on a application using BDS 2005.

This application includes a main exe, which internally calls other exes and dlls.

On Windows Vista, I am unable to invoke the main exe just by double clicking; I need to invoke it as “Run as administrator”.

To overcome this issue, I used following manifest xml to elevate main executable.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity version="1.1.1.1"
processorArchitecture="X86"
name="ApplicationMainExeName"
type="win32"/>
<description>elevate execution level</description>
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false"/>
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>

I built its resource file using BRCC32, and then include this .REC file in the mail exe project.

Result is good and I can invoke my main exe by just double clicking.

Now my questing is-

Do I need to write separate manifest xml for each other exe and dll?

Or is there any alternative through which I can create a single manifest REC file and my complete application will get elevated?
