my application consist on:

• the core (.exe)
• two .dll

now, saw lot of time software (like games) require admin right during installation , after can whatever want; how possible?

how via c++ ?

if want application run administrator, can specify in application's manifest file.

specifically, need add this:

<trustinfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">   <security>     <requestedprivileges>       <requestedexecutionlevel level="requireadministrator" uiaccess="false"/>     </requestedprivileges>   </security> </trustinfo> 

more on application manifest files can found in msdn.
