I tried adding those, and got some errors – but I probably just screwed something up.
If I find out what I did wrong, I’ll update here.
THanks!

Mike, I’m not sure. It’s been so long now. I think the manifest for the helper app needs to require admin privileges (and so does the manifest for the real app). If I remember correctly, I just added the trustInfo-security-requiredPrivileges-requestedExecutionLevel xml snippets to the manifest Visual Studio generates for a web deployment project.

I’ve implemented part of this solution, and have run into an issue that simply a reference to Process.StartupInfo in the RunAsAdmin() function causes the ClickOnce Installer to crash.

I would think that having the ability to launch processes would be a full trust situation, which requires elevation, which is not supported in the Internet Zone.

What am I missing? What’s the manifest for the ClickOnce application supposed to look like (as opposed to the manifest for the helper application).

Help!

MageUI is part of the .NET SDK, I believe. I'm sure if you look on msdn.microsoft.com, you'll find plenty of information on it.
