Hello all.

I've written a standalone GUI to spawn the install of 3 separate MSIs. The 
gui is called setup.exe. Whenever I run setup.exe on a Vista machine I get 
the UAC elevation prompt. If I rename the gui to jd.exe I do NOT get the UAC 
elevation prompt.

If I rename the file install.exe I get elevation too. It seems that a 
filename of *setup*.exe or *install*.exe is always elevated. Is this 
expected on Vista? It certainly seems odd, but also seems like something 
microsoft would do.

I can add a requestedExecutionLevel entry to the manifest I guess, but I 
want to be sure that this is expected.

Cheers,

John.
