Set application to "run as Admin"

I have an application that, under Vista, must run as Administrator when UAC is on.
After the installation I can go to the application, cllick properties and set it that way but my app is installed in the corporate environment, pushed out by the IT Admin group and they expect it to function without manual intervention. Is there a was to set this property in IS2008? I can't find anything on it?

No, InstallShield can not do this. The proper way to do this is by embedding a manifest with a setting of "requireAdministrator" into your executable - search the UAC blogs or the rest of MSDN for more information on that.
