title: How reliable is adding an application manifest to ensure elevated privileges across windows xp, vista and 7?
body: <p>How stable is this method to ensure that my admin application requests admin privileges when launching:</p>
  
  <p><code>
  &lt;requestedPrivileges xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"&gt;<br>
      &lt;requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" /&gt;<br>
  &lt;/requestedPrivileges&gt;
  </code></p>
  
  <p>This works well on Windows 7 but I do not have access to XP and Vista so cannot tell.</p>
