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.

Message:
The filesystem hooks will query the virtual store first (And only read the
"real" location if the file is not found in the virtual store) for
applications without a manifest.

You can use http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/ or
http://weblogs.asp.net/kennykerr/archive/2007/07/10/manifest-view-1-0.aspx
to view a programs manifest.
