> Why do you need one? as originally stated, to avoid Vista's (or 2k8's) virtualisation of the file system. eg if from a script I attempt to write to c:\ProgramData\MyCompany\MyApp\file.ext and I don't have enough NTFS perms, then vista virtualises this into %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ProgramData\MyCompany\MyApp\file.ext instead of giving me an access denied error. > inherits the UAC from the caller no, but yes, but no. it the caller is elevated, then yes the spawned task (php) inherits this elevation. this is not the same thing that I am talking about though. if an app has this manifest embedded, then no matter what the elevation status or what perms the user has, file and reg operations won't be virtulised. .. note: this probably has very little relavence when run as cgi/fcgi on a webserver, but when running as a cli for misc scripts on my pc then it matters. really there is no reason to not have one that I can see.
