Launch Program as Administrator, requireAdministrator, change manifest file

[rwg]

I want to create a FORTRAN administrator application. Because this application has to run under XP, Vista and Windows 7 I want to add a manifest file with requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" but all my attempts failed. I tried the following:

• Changing the appropriate linker option under 'Manifest File' but FORTRAN projects don't have such an option while C++ projects do. (By the way: all linker options are in english if the project is a FORTRAN project. They are in german for C++ projects)
• Adding the Addition Option /MANIFESTUAC:level=requireAdministrator under Linker, Command Line: I get the error message: ...exe.intermediate.manifest : general error c1010070: Failed to load and parse the manifest.
  Even though the created intermediate manifest file seems to be correct (including level=requireAdministrator)
• Creating a manifest file and adding the name under Manifest Tool, Input and Output, Additional Manifest Files: I get the error message: ...exe.intermediate.manifest : manifest authoring error c1010001: Values of attribute "level" not equal in different manifest snippets.

Any ideas?

Switching back to VS6 and Compaq FORTRAN gives me a solution for VS2008:

1. Disable generation of manifests in VS2008! (Linker, Manifest File, Generate Manifest: No)
2. Create your own manifest file e.g.:










3. Add this file as resource (select the resource view, right click on resources, add resource, import... and select the manifest file you created, you can enter RT_MANIFEST as resource type)

Using the default manifest VS2008 creates and changing the requestedExecutionLevel seems to be impossible for FORTRAN projects.
