Is it possible for the executable to ask for Administrator rights? (Windows 7)

by

You cannot acquire elevated privileges after the process has started. Your options are:

  1. Put the part of your application that requires elevated privileges into a separate process and manifest that with requireAdministrator.
  2. Run the part of your application that requires elevated privileges as an out-of-proc COM object.
