ThisvalueusesthehighestavailableprivilegethatcanavoidtheUACprompt.
Ifyoudonotspecifyprivileges,ThinAppdoesnotassignadefaultvaluebutoperatesaccordingtothe
asInvokersetting.
Examples
YoucanmodifytheUACRequestedPrivilegesLevelparametertospecifyadministratorprivilegesfora
program.
[BuildOptions]
UACRequestedPrivilegesLevel=requireAdministrator
UACRequestedPrivilegesUIAccess
TheUACRequestedPrivilegesUIAccessparameterspecifiesuserinterfaceaccessonWindowsVistaorlater
operatingsystemversions.Theseoperatingsystemsprotectsomeelementsoftheuserinterface.
ThinAppassignsaninitialvalueoftheUACRequestedPrivilegesUIAccessparametertoblockapplication
accesstoprotectedelements.Althoughyoucanassignatrueorfalsevalueto

Examples
YoucankeeptheinitialvalueoftheUACRequestedPrivilegesUIAccessparametertoensurethatthevirtual

Configuring Objects and DLL Files
YoucanmodifyThinAppparameterstospecifyCOMobjectaccessandDLLloadingrequirements.
ExternalCOMObjects
TheExternalCOMObjectsparameterdetermineswhetherWindowscreatesandrunsCOMobjectsinthe
physicalenvironmentratherthanthevirtualenvironmenttofacilitateapplicationcompatibilitywith

ThinAppsetsaninitialvalueoftheExternalCOMObjectsparameterthat
createsandrunstheCOMobjects
inthevirtualenvironment.
COMsupportsout‐of‐processexecutableserversandservice‐basedCOMobjects.Ifanapplicationcancreate

ThinApprunsout‐of‐process
