Ben,

It's not related to .Net (though I admit - Microsoft present it as if it were). The whole UAC thing is "Un managed".

Vista has all the relavant runtimes it requires to enforce the new security. If the program is already out on the client machine, then you would need to upgrade it with one that has a manifest, or manifest it remotely (if you can).

I admit the tool (mt.exe) appears to come with .NET tools but it's a standalone program.

Hopefully I have answered the right question.

Regards
