Activate UAC on my installed software with Innosetup

Question

I am installing my software (myprog.exe) using inno setup and i would like to force users to launch myprog.exe as adminstrator but i cant figure out! my exe doesen't have the uac shield on the icon and it can be launch without "right click" - "run as administrator"

I have set PrivilegesRequired=admin for the installer but i just for the installation phase.

In fact i want to tell to windows "Hey my program is dangerous, allays ask to run it as administrator"

Any ideas?

The application itself (myprog.exe) should be built with a manifest to specify that it needs administrator privileges. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb756929.aspx

Thus the app manifest must contain the following element:

<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false"/>
