Dim applicationManifest As String = "<manifest></manifest>"
If File.Exists("rpc.xml") Then
    Dim manifestReader As StreamReader = File.OpenText("rpc.xml")
    applicationManifest = manifestReader.ReadToEnd()
End If

If _secureEnv Is Nothing Then
    If SecureEnvironment.IsUserActivated(New ContentUser(_currentUserId, AuthenticationType.Windows)) Then
        _secureEnv = SecureEnvironment.Create(applicationManifest, New ContentUser(_currentUserId, AuthenticationType.Windows))
    Else
        _secureEnv = SecureEnvironment.Create(applicationManifest, AuthenticationType.Windows, UserActivationMode.Permanent)
    End If
End If
