Inno Setup issue: windows security shield does not appear on setup icon

I created setup using inno setup as well as using QSetup (and other install builder applications).

All setups were created using Admin privileges but the setups that were created using inno setup do not have a windows security shield setup icon. However this security shield mark appeared automatically on icons of all other setups.

Due to this issue, installer that was created using inno setup will not install on a number of Windows vista Machines when downloaded from website.

In Windows Vista machines, when I double click on such installer, nothing happens.

I used:
PrivilegesRequired=admin

Please help!

I would recommend to contact the InnoSetup Support, because this is no Xojo issue. :slight_smile:

I assume the requiered manifest is not included in InnoSetup.

I can’t say why but sometimes the UAC dialog sits somewhere (without focus and behind other windows) and is just waiting for admin password. As workaround it sometimes helps to Alt-Tab through all windows to get this UAC dialog.
