I haven't checked the nsis documentation, but compatibility mode in general has nothing to do with the requestExecutionLevel attribute that you set in the manifest of an executable. That attribute has to do with UAC, and basically forces windows to pop-up the dialog asking you to allow elevated privileges for the execution of a binary when UAC is enabled. Have a nice day GV PS. I wish i could replicate the winpcap installer problem, and try this nsis setting :-( ----- Original Message ----- From: jah To: Gianluca Varenni Cc: nmap-dev () insecure org Sent: Friday, December 21, 2007 11:44 AM Subject: Re: NPPTools.dll missing error in Vista On 20/12/2007 20:13, Gianluca Varenni wrote: The only reason that I found so far is that the installer on Vista was run in "windows XP compatibility mode", causing the wrong files to be installed. It might be worth trying out the NSIS installer attribute named RequestExecutionLevel [1] and setting it to highest: RequestExecutionLevel "highest" which may well prevent nmap-winpcap from installing in compatibilty mode, but will require elevated privileges to do so. jah [1] RequestExecutionLevel - http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html#4.8.1.32 _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
