title: UAC: Manifest file is ignored
body: <p>One of my Executables writes some configuration into a XML file to C:\Program Files\MyApp\config.xml. It needs to run as Administrator on Vista / Server 2008, otherwise the OS won't let it write to that location.</p>
  
  <p>I included a manifest file named config.exe.manifest, to automatically request administration rights at launch.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my manifest file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"&gt;
    &lt;trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"&gt;
      &lt;security&gt;
        &lt;requestedPrivileges&gt;
          &lt;requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" /&gt;
        &lt;/requestedPrivileges&gt;
      &lt;/security&gt;
    &lt;/trustInfo&gt;
  &lt;/assembly&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried this on Windows Server 2008, but the manifest file seems to be ignored and the executable is launched without sufficient rights.</p>
