Yea that escalation is fine. Microsoft just wants the UAC directive in all the kicad executable manifests. The directive can simply be "asInvoked" meaning do not escalate. Its simply a security item for them they want checked off. We don't have to tell it to escalate all the kicad executables to admin or highest.
When I was talking about Publisher I wasn't referring to the test failing. I was saying SmartScreen might be happier if the installer executable Publisher Matched the certificate or had something not blank.
