Launcher Wizard: Vista Execution Level

     


  In this step of the launcher wizard, you can configure the execution level for the launcher executable on Windows Vista.

Note: this advanced option screen is reachable by selecting the "Executable" step and choosing "Vista execution level" from the [Advanced options] popup menu or by clicking directly on the index.

  The execution level can be one of
  • As invoker
    This is the default setting. The executable will be executed with the rights of the current token. If the user is an Administrator, this will be a filtered token so the executable will not have all administration rights.
  • Highest available
    This level will raise the rights of the executable to the maximum extend available for the current user. This applies to Administrators that usually run with a filtered token. Windows Vista will show a question to the user if he wants to elevate the rights of this application. For a standard user this is the same as "As invoker".
  • Require administrator
    This is the same as "Highest available" when the user is an Administrator running with a filtered token. If the user is a standard user, Windows Vista will ask for the credentials of an Administrator account.
