Application Manifest Wizard disabled

[annelise]

v 1.99 - the application manifest wizard is disabled. I can see my manifest resource ID 1, but the wizard icon is disabled. I was interested in adding RunAsAdministrator to my .exe.

The wizard is disabled because the manifest is already there.

To Add the TrustInfo Section:

1. Expand the Manifest folder that's found in the Resource Tree view; select the Manifest resource to be edited in the Resource Tree.
2. Press the Resource Editor button to edit a selected manifest. Or simply double-click the resource item directly.
3. Insert (paste) the TrustInfo section into the manifest:
   <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
      <security>
      <requestedPrivileges>
        <requestedExecutionLevel
          level="requireAdministrator"
          uiAccess="false"/>
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
   </trustInfo>

4. Press OK to close the Resource Editor and select 'File' -> 'Save File As ...' to save the changes you've just made to the target file. If warned that the image size has changed, click "Yes" to update the file size.

Have a look in the PE Explorer directory for the CHM help file, there are some Resource Editor How-to's.
