If I create an application that reads(not write) from the registry and include a manifest file with "highestavailable" then the application fails to read the registry. If I do not include the manifest file then it reads the registry. The problem is in the future the application may need to write to the registry but is running from another process (meaning something else is executing it that will have administrative rights) If I change the manifest file to include (requireadministrator) then it will prompt and wait for it to be acknowledged which won't happen since it is automated. So in the future it will be fine to add requireadministrator as the people running it will be techicians.. but I don't want to create 2 different versions of the application. (One with manifest, One without.. seems kind of silly) (Hence the reason I put "highestavailable".) Not really sure I understand the whole idea behind this manifest file and not being able to read from registry. Any ideas or solutions?
