Having Windows app run as admin & unpackaged does not work.

[0x14307]

Description

While attempting to build an unpackaged app that also runs as administrator, the compiler gives the error Values of attribute "level" not equal in different manifest snippets. as well as another error regarding the Windows SDK build tools exiting.

Steps to Reproduce

Add <WindowsPackageType>None</WindowsPackageType> to a PropertyGroup in your .csproj file

Change MsixPackage to Project in launchSettings.json.

Add:
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"> <security> <requestedPrivileges> <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false"/> </requestedPrivileges> </security> </trustInfo> to app.manifest in Platforms/Windows

and also add <rescap:Capability Name="allowElevation" /> under the Capabilities section in the Package.appxmanifest

Did you find any workaround?

Currently, I have not. The only workaround I have been able to do is to either have it run unpackaged and as a regular user or have it MSIX packaged & as an admin.

Worked around this issue by calling the process I want to run as a separate administrator process 👍
