Including a program manifest is not really an option from Vista onwards,
it is absolutely essential.
Paste the following into Notepad and save as "generic_vista.manifest"
If necessary, pad with spaces to ensure that the file length is a
multiple of four bytes (to avoid bugs).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
version="1.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
name="generic"
type="win32"/>
<description>generic</description>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity
type="win32"
name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
version="6.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
language="*"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false"/>
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>
Paste the following into Notepad and save as "manifest_generic_vista.rc"
// Resource file to
// 1) disable file/registry virtualization from Vista onwards and
// 2) enable visual styles from XP onwards
// NOTE: The manifest file must be a multiple of 4 bytes long e.g. 600
not 597 bytes
LANGUAGE LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL
#define CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID 1
#define CONTROL_PANEL_RESOURCE_ID 123
#define RT_MANIFEST 24
CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID RT_MANIFEST "generic_vista.manifest"
Now compile this using the Borland resource compiler BRCC32.exe or any
other resource compiler.
Finally link into your program (in Delphi using the {$L } compiler
directive).
If you wish the program to always run with admin privileges, change
level="asInvoker" to level="requireAdministrator"
