Just poking around, a manifest is like a config file for the app. As I mentioned, your installer maker solution may have a way to configure one. If not, apparently there are solutions that allow you to post process your executable to include one.
Also worth considering, in the Windows tab of the Standalone Application Settings, at the bottom of the window is a popup menu for UAC settings. Unless your app will require Administrative Access to the file system, I would set this to Same as Invoker. Apparently this wil create some kind of manifest. Also, the app will run with the same permissions as the caller. This should prevent Windows from thinking the app must be run as an administrator.
