I'm writing a program in C # that needs administrator rights. To do this, I added the following lines to the "app.manifest" file:

<requestedPrivileges xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
    <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
</requestedPrivileges>

The request is working properly The program has administrator rights.

My problem is that on demand, the publisher is unknown and I do not know how to change it. UAC image

I entered my name in the assembly, but it does not change anything.

Does anyone know how to change this value?

  • It needs to be code signed in order to have something other than Unknown in the UAC prompt. – Anya Shenanigans Jun 15 '18 at 08:54
  • Thank you for your reply ! I think I can follow this method ? [MSDN](https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/84bc2159-d646-4de5-9908-2e82a4239df1/how-can-i-digitally-sign-my-c-application-?forum=csharpgeneral) – Aurèle Bonvin Jun 15 '18 at 08:58
  • Yes that method will allow signing with a self-signed certificate; however if you want to ensure that the publisher is known, then you need to use a purchased code signing certificate. – Anya Shenanigans Jun 15 '18 at 09:02

In the above source a similar question is asked. The responses indicate the use of a codesigning certificate. There is also a mention to a how to in stackoverflow that explains how to create your own codesigning certificate: How do I create a self-signed certificate for code signing on Windows?
