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.
The nsis documentation [1] says "It's recommended, at least by Microsoft, that every application will be marked with the required execution level. Unmarked installers are subject to compatibility mode." I should have read it better myself; because it also says, about setting RequestExecutionLevel to "none" which is also the default, "will keep the manifest empty and let Windows decide which execution level is required. Windows Vista automatically identifies NSIS installers and decides administrator privileges are required".
Have a nice day GV PS. I wish i could replicate the winpcap installer problem, and try this nsis setting :-(
Given that Fyodor has apparently fixed the problem, I don't think it matters now. Even so, maybe it is worth seeing if there's any difference to the install process on vista if RequestExecutionLevel is set. I ought to get vista to play with... regards, 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
