Admin and ClickOnce C# Visual Studio 2008/2012
Question
My C# application needs to run with admin privileges however, I cannot publish it due to ClickOnce restrictions.
I have been searching for a resolution to this, however, I have yet to find one that works.
The most common suggestion is to add an installer to the project, however, I don't have seem to have in either my version of Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2012.
Can anyone offer me any suggestions of how I can publish a C# project with admin privileges?

WiX is a (free) tool for creating installation packages. I do not have any experience with it myself but it seems that you can use WiX for UAC elevation when running the installation.
I did a search for WiX and UAC and it seems that lots of people are using WiX when UAC is required - eg this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/12/13/some-useful-things-i-have-learned-about-windows-installer-and-uac.aspx .
