In this step of the
exe4j wizard, you can
configure the execution level for your executable on Windows Vista and higher.
The execution level can be one of
-
As invoker
This is the default setting. The executable will be executed with the rights of the current token.
If the user is an Administrator, this will be a filtered token so the executable will not have all
administration rights.
-
Highest available
This level will raise the rights of the executable to the maximum extend available for the current user.
This applies to Administrators that usually run with a filtered token. Windows Vista and higher will show a question
to the user if he wants to elevate the rights of this application. For a standard user this is the same
as "As invoker".
-
Require administrator
This is the same as "Highest available" when the user is an Administrator running with a filtered token.
If the user is a standard user, Windows Vista and higher will ask for the credentials of an Administrator account.
