If you want to deploy an application to the Windows Vista operating system that meets the certification requirements of the Windows Vista Logo program, you must follow User Account Control (UAC) guidelines. The executable file must have an embedded manifest that defines the execution level and specifies whether access to the user interface of another window is required. The Vista Application Information Service (AIS) checks the manifest file to determine the privileges with which to launch the process. For more information about creating manifest files, see the Microsoft Web site.
