Visual Studio Output to Run as Admin always

[Subin Mavunkal]

Hi , Is there a way to make our visual studio output exe to run as Admin always ?. I am running visual studio as Admin and I have a Wix installer project with me.Even if I set the admin flag in the exe manually and then make the setup file , it goes and install it as with out having any permissions. Please help

Create a desktop shortcut for VS - right click on the shortcut and choose properties. Click the "advanced" button, and there is a checkbox for run as administrator

You need to add an Application Manifest to the project and set the required privilege level in it.
