"Required Solution" -> there's another, imo better, and that is to not write in the app settings file but in a user config file. Place it in ProgramData or so. – Darondarooge

Answer 1

Add an app.manifest to your project. In there, under trustInfo --> security --> requestedPrivileges node, uncomment this line:

<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />

Then you're good to go.

when my application fetching some dll form Programfies/Company/My applicationat run time it gives me error as The Just-In-Time debugger was launched without necessary security permission – Reconstructionism

it was my application dll problem not manifest problem.. and your suggestion works for me. Thanx... – Reconstructionism

Correction, the manifest file should not be added to the solution, but to the project. (Right-click project in Solution Explorer and Add new item...) – Khoury
