    Description

      I want to use UAC feature to allow to start an application with the administrative privileges.

      I have created a *.rc file which contains:

      #ifndef RT_MANIFEST
      #define RT_MANIFEST 24
      #endif
      
      #ifndef CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID
      #define CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID 1
      #endif
      
      CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID RT_MANIFEST "app-uac.exe.manifest"
      

      where "app-uac.exe.manifest" file contains:

      <?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.v3">
          <security>
            <requestedPrivileges>
              <requestedExecutionLevel
                level="requireAdministrator"
                uiAccess="false"/>
            </requestedPrivileges>
          </security>
        </trustInfo>
      </assembly>
      

      and *.qbs file contains:

      import qbs
      
      Application {
          name: "app-uac"
          Depends { name: "Qt"; submodules: [ "core" ] }
          files : ["main.cpp"]
          Group {
              name: "Windows resource file"
              files: ["app-uac.rc"]
          }
      }
      

      This UAC feature works only with the MinGW kit, but ignores with the MSVC kit.

      Note: Similar issue works perfectly using QMake.
