patch requires admin privileges on Windows 7

Posted on by mario

The patch.exe requires admin privileges on Windows 7. This is pretty annoying! The first thing that worked was just renaming the file to pach.exe Stupid windows. But I didn’t like that cause than I mostly typed it wrong and patch command was missing. I found a better solution:

Create a text file in the same directory with the name patch.exe.manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
 <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
 <security>
 <requestedPrivileges>
 <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker"/>
 </requestedPrivileges>
 </security>
 </trustInfo>
</assembly>

Save as UTF8. Now it works. Well I have to test if it is possible to embedd the manifest than good bye $%&# asking for admin permission
