[cargo-c] 32bit cargo-cinstall.exe requires admin rights

[lazka]

For some reason the i686 cargo-cinstall.exe triggers a UAC dialog and can't be executed from bash. Does anyone know why this could be? The 64bit version works fine.

We need to use the new capi command provided by cargo-c to work around that (apparently Windows doesn't like that the exe contains the word "install")

@lazka or provide manifest file for 32 bit

[lazka]

thanks, good to know. I found this rust-lang/rfcs#721 so likely not possible yet

the capi thing works though, so it's fine :)

Maybe some kind of black magic can be done. For example, create a rc file, add the manifest to it, compile the rc file with windmc and link it with exe.

@lazka no need to embedding manifest, you can place it near files. Look at /mingw32/bin folder for manifest files

There is https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/rust-embed-resource
You can also embed manifest using windres+ar tools.
