Summary: relnotes and docs for RequestExecutionLevel insufficient

Initial Comment:
Windows 7 code was based on Windows Vista code.
please read the following web page about the UAC.  
http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/FZ_UAC

It documents about how writing into C:\Program Files\ ($PROGRAMFILES) could cause your non-compliant application to be stuffed into the virtual store directory instead of where you expect it.  - so what will reading do?  go to C:\Program Files\ and miss the application, causing errors?
someone verify!
I would like to see at least a link to some documentation about the XML manifest that I am supposed to include, possibly is is in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235591%28VS.80%29.aspx.
well, that documentation says the manifest is in the application executeable itself, and the user needs to know that.  I don't always know whether the application I am writing an installer for has a manifest in it or not.  the one I just wrote for does not, so I don't know how to handle that in windows 7.  tell me.

apparently non-microsoft compilers are not going to be windows 7 compatible for a while yet.
