But I do not understand how I should respond to "... That's why you need the administrator..." Should I then prompt the user with "Log on now as administrator, install, and return to your user account." For home use, that seems a bit daft. And it can not be as smoothly as the current setup - say Yes in the app, click a few times to install, finishing with a new version of app running. It will be better then to accept that there are two or more versions installed, one for each user.
The person could just use the "run as" command to run the program as a different user. That's what I do when I install things on my Windows XP computer. I don't have Windows Vista, so I don't know if that command is available the way it is on Windows XP context menus. How do the other Windows Vista programs you use do it?
Vista tries to detect installation and update programs. You can include a requestedExecutionLevel element in your manifest to tell Vista that your update program requires administrative privileges.
