Hi,
I need to auto-elevate my process without prompting user pop-up. When i look into WSReset.exe(C:\Windows\System32\WSReset.exe). It will be auto elevated without user user prompt.

It has <autoElevate>true</autoElevate> in it's manifest. So i need to do same in my process to auto-elevate my application with user available in Administrator group.
