Embed manifest for Vista privileges?

Does anyone know of a way to embed a manifest into a standalone so that the app can be Vista/UAC compliant (assuming one want's an app to "run as administrator")

I know one can right click the exe in Vista and select the "run as administrator", but that's a hokey thing to ask a user to do, post install.

The way it *should* be done is with an embedded manifest, which doesn't seem to be possible with a rev standalone...?

Here is a lesson showing how I do this using Resource Tuner on Windows.

I've tested the technique described with Rev 3.0 >.

Thank you Trevor!

Hopefully someday this can become part of the standalone settings for the windows platform.

Again, thank you for your help!
