Right, and that’s the problem. There is no mechanism to display a UAC dialog on a remote machine. That would utterly defeat the point of UAC. You’ll have to make it work without the dialog. Replace “requireAdministor” in the manifest with “asInvoker” and adjust the code to not require the privilege. Good luck with it.
