I'm not exactly sure if I understand your question. But I would suggest to
open the "#embed UAC manifest..." dialog and press "F1" -- all information
is there.

Please note that this is a compiler directive. It has nothing to do with
your installation logic.

This compiler directive will embed an UAC-aware manifest into your .exe. So
you only have to make sure that you do this before the compiler adds your
..exe to the setup.exe.

Before the [ Support Files ] section is a good place to do this. But you
are never tied to any "section" in SetupBuilder. The "sections" are only
there to give you some orientation. You can have registry functions in the
[ Install Files ] section and you can have Install File(s) command in the
[ Execute Programs ] section. It's completely up to you.

Does this help?

If you are having your installer code-sign your .EXE also, it needs to do
that AFTER adding the manifest:

1. Add manifest
2. Code-sign
3. Add .EXE to the setup.EXE

Kai,

Charles Edmonds of LANSRAD taught me a long time ago (as illustrated in the
attached screen shot) - this order, and it has worked well.

#embed Vista manifest
#run Batch File (optional for Software Passport - Armadillo protection)
#code-sign application

[ Create Folders ]

Notice all of this JUST before Create Folders

ALSO optional - but, just after code-sign - nice place to put some:

#copy file functions to copy a processed file to a specific folder - you
have that file available in a location that isn't necessarily associated
directly with the install.

I do this as the first thing in the script.
