My program is not asking for administrator privileges while I do have a manifest

  • 0

My program is not asking for administrator privileges while I do have a manifest file included in my project, I loaded it correctly, it just simply doesnt want to fix the error I have in my code. I’ll post the manifest file, but I’m almost sure its fine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


  <!-- If your application is designed to work with Windows 7, uncomment the following supportedOS node-->
  <!--<supportedOS Id="{35138b9a-5d96-4fbd-8e2d-a2440225f93a}"/>-->

</application>

</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>–>

These are the settings I am using in my project:

Settings

The error I am getting:

Error

Translated it says:
“Win32 Exception was unhandled, Not all privileges or groups referenced are assigned to the caller.”

Can I have any help, so I can make my program ask for administrator privileges so it can run correctly?

    You’ll need to modify <requestedExecutionLevel>

    <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
