I am using Qt Creator and trying to make the file .exerun by default as an administrator.
After reading all the solutions online, I tried to put this line in my file .pro:
QMAKE_LFLAGS += /MANIFESTUAC:"level='requireAdministrator' uiAccess='false'"
But still, when I check my .exe(using notepad), it contains:
<requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false"></requestedExecutionLevel>
Can someone tell me how to add requireAdministrator?
Workaround:
Until now, I could not find a solution, so I made a temporary hack. I made .exe
"LaunchAnother.exe" that will launch my "main.exe" using the following code:
SHELLEXECUTEINFO shExInfo = {0};
shExInfo.cbSize = sizeof(shExInfo);
shExInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
shExInfo.hwnd = 0;
shExInfo.lpVerb = _T("runas");
shExInfo.lpFile = _T("main.exe");
shExInfo.lpParameters = "";
shExInfo.lpDirectory = 0;
shExInfo.nShow = SW_SHOW;
shExInfo.hInstApp = 0;
if (ShellExecuteEx(&shExInfo))
{
WaitForSingleObject(shExInfo.hProcess, INFINITE);
CloseHandle(shExInfo.hProcess);
}
Still waiting for a better solution.
