I've met a problem with deploying my application with VS2008; the application needs to write to registry, to do that it needs to run as administrator. But if I go to View UAC Settings and copy and paste the

<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />

line in the app.manifest, the build fails with "clickonce does not support adminstrator level.", however, I'm using a deployment project - it shouldn't be using clickonce; so how do I stop VS thinking it's going to deploy the application as clickonce? My theory about the problem is that it used to be a clickonce application and when I added the deployment project, I somehow left the clickonce "flag" turned on.

Hi AndrewFromEssex,

Did you check the Enable ClickOnce Security Settings? You can find this option on Security tab of the project properties. If so, you need to uncheck it.

Hi AndrewFromEssex,

You said: I'm using a deployment project.
Do you mean a Setup Project instructed as the following link?

Thanks for the reply; yes I've created a setup project using that procedure - the .msi file that is generated is what I distribute.
