I\'m trying to install a service using InstallUtil.exe but invoked through Process.Start. Here\'s the code:

According to the article Chris Corio: Teach Your Apps To Play Nicely With Windows Vista User Account Control, MSDN Magazine, Jan. 2007, only ShellExecute checks the embedded manifest and prompts the user for elevation if needed, while CreateProcess and other APIs don't. Hope it helps.
