[RESOLVED] Start Program At Computer Startup With Admin and NO UAC

[kshadow22]

Don't.

Do you really want security to be something that you can set aside when it isn't convenient? Does what you are thinking of doing make sense from a security sense, or would it represent a massive security hole? If it is the latter, don't you think that might be a problem? If it is not the latter, then what steps do you expect the standard user to perform to get to the point of installing the service? Consider what they will have to do to stay within the context of the security. It may well be a nuisance for them, but if you could just dispense with that nuisance, even one as minor as signing in as an administrator, then you don't have security in the first place.

So overall, I should keep the windows service and the windows form app separate for security? Now it is possible to have the administrator install the program and the service under the same installer right? and then they would be held separate still. (Today was my first time creating my first windows service.)

I looked into this post How to create an installer for a .net Windows Service using Visual Studio and it provides an example of creating a setup, which I believe is what I need, I just don't know how to add my windows form to this setup as well.
