Running patch using admin execution level

Hi, I got a lot of appreciation for creating installer for my current project. After that project I was involved in some different projects. Almost after an year when I was shifted again to my last year installer project, at first glance it looks like to be little uncomfortable, to look into what modifications have been done in last one year.

Above all that I was told to create Patch installer. Ufff... again a lot of R&D's as I was working for the first time on a patch installer project. Well again I came out through with flying colours, as the patch installer was appreciated by the client.

But one concern was raised, that when we execute the full installer directly by just clicking it, it runs by using "Admin Execution Level", as it was done by using a setting in the installer project as shown in the screenshot below.

But there was not such setting when we look into Patch installer properties. I was told to look into how to execute Patch as an Administrator without using right click and selecting "Run as admin".

Well I find a solution after doing a lot of R&D. There is a tool named isremane.exe. This tool can be find at link http://support.installshield.com/kb/...isremanexe.zip


Open a command prompt window and run the following command:
isreman.exe /manifest:"C:\PathToNewManifest\setup.exe.manifest" "C:\PathToSetup\setup.exe"

for C:\PathToNewManifest\setup.exe.manifest use the file...
C:\program Files\InstallShield\2009\support\SetupExe.Admin.manifest

That should do it.
