I want my visual studio project to require admin privileges when it is launched, how do you do that? I've tried going on "properties -> Project properties -> linker -> manifest file" and changing the UAC execution level to "requireAdministrator (/level=requireAdministrator'')" but visual studio just gives me error MSB6011 while building the project. All help is appreciated. Thanks

@mic: Isn't that exactly what the OP is doing already? – IInspectable Feb 17 '20 at 08:23

I tried to reproduce your problem, but it didn't work.
I guess it might be something wrong with vs. I suggest that you could try to restore the settings of VS and try again, about restoring the settings of VS: Tools->Import and Export Settings...->Reset all Settings->Next->"No, just reset settings, overwriting my current settings"->Next->General->Finish.
I suggest you can try to clear the cache of VS.VS cache cleanup steps:
- Close Visual Studio (ensure devenv.exe is not present in the Task Manager)
- Delete the %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache directory (2017 correspondence 15.xxx, 2019 correspondence 16.xxx, 2015 correspondence 14.xxx )
- Restart Visual Studio.
If the problem persists,I suggest you could try to open the build log function and take a look at the build process.
