Are you talking about a one off process, or something that needs to happen every time your code is run on multiple computers? Because if you simply want to personally run a ClickOnce app with elevated permissions, its pretty simple. Click once apps reside at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Apps\2.0[ObfuscatedFolderName]. Simply find your app folder ( timestamp should be enough information ), then rightclick your EXE and run as admin.

If you want to do it in code, the easiest solution is probably to make a shell launcer application around your code, that requests elevated permissions in code. Here is such an example.
