Windows Media Center app and UAC

I am currently trying to write a Windows Media Center (Vista) application that can restart a service with UAC enabled. Everything works fine when UAC is disabled, but as soon as UAC is enabled, I get an Access Denied error.

I believe this is because Window Media Center applications are running Windows Media Center and therefore needs to be started as an administrator to do this. Does anyone know how I can achieve this using UAC?

Check it. It looks like you will need to indicate that the process is asking UAC for permission to continue:

You can mark your process as it needs to be increased by adding

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
   <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0"  name="CheckForceElevation" type="win32"/>
      <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
      <security>
         <requestedPrivileges>
            <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator"/>
         </requestedPrivileges>
      </security>
   </trustInfo>
</assembly>


The manifesto.
