For Windows installer media files, this step includes
an option Request admin privileges on Windows Vista that allows you to
compile the installer and uninstaller executables in such a way that Windows Vista will know
up-front that the installer and uninstaller require admin privileges. If these privileges are not
available, Windows Vista will present a dialog that allows the user to specify the credentials of
an admin user.
Select this option if your installer always requires admin rights on Windows Vista. This option does
not replace the "Require admin user" action.
Contrary to the cross-platform "Require admin user" action, this option
is static and influences the way the installer executable is launched. When the "Require admin user" action is executed
and the installer doesn't run with admin rights, the user is informed with a message box and the installer quits.
If you do not select this option the execution level "Highest available" is used on Windows Vista. For a standard
user the installer will run with the rights of this user. If the user is an Administrator with filtered rights,
Windows Vista will ask him if the installer should be allowed to gain full administration rights.
