 104     ;Request application privileges for Windows Vista
 105     RequestExecutionLevel admin

 I've changed this long time ago to above.

 so by a double click on the wingrass-installer you should be asked (by a
 windows message box) if you want to proceed with admin rights to install
 wingrass.

 tested here with winxp, winvista, win7 and I'm asked in all cases.

 what's your situation?

 best regards
 Helmut
