"runas" can actually refer to a couple of things. One is in the manifest that you refer to, but another alternative is for your executable to use ShellExecute, with a verb of "runas" to re-execute itself. > #2 : the .exe must have a manifest that contains : > """ > ...

I'm not sure this will work (and I'm not sure if you are saying it does or doesn't work). To check it works, you should use the 'mt.exe' tool that comes with the MSVC compilers and Platform SDKs to check it can extract a manifest, and it is as you expect. Yet another alternative is to use mt.exe *after* py2exe has run to embed the manifest in the final executable. Note however that it is rare you need the py2exe created executable to run as administrator - it is the *installer* for the py2exe program that generally needs this. > #3 Maybe someone could complete here ...? Hope the above help. Cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
