How to fix "an Unidentified program wants access"

[SaintBernard]

I have searched and have not found a thread or answer to this question.

In Vista I added a manifest with level = "requireAdministrator"
so I can access the registry without error.

Now when I run the program I get the dialog box.
"User Account Control"
"An unidentified program wants"
"access to your computer"


How can I make the program "identified" ?

Is there something to the manifest I am missing?
I need it compatible with both XP and Vista.

You need to digitally sign the setup (or your exe, whichever is triggering the UAC dialog). See also: http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2007/01/25/accessible-uac-prompts.aspx

Thanks,

I see it wants me to set uiAccess but will that make it not run in XP?

In the help file "Step 6: Create and Embed an Application Manifest (UAC)"

When it shows the example for XP Vista it leaves out uiAccess

Specifying a uiAccess attribute should not cause any problems on Windows XP; both of these manifest attributes were added in Vista, so XP does not even look for them.
