Electron在Windows下以管理员运行

为了实现在windows的UAC控制下以管理员方式运行，通常有两种方式：

• 注册表添加信息。这种方式通常是通过安装程序添加注册表信息。
• exe文件中附加manifest文件。这种方式使得程序可以以免安装的方式运行。

由于electron通常开发的程序我们通常喜欢用免安装方式运行，下面就说说怎么修改electron中的manifest。
通过win sdk中的mt.exe工具可方便的对exe文件中附加的manifest进行导出和导入。由于electron中本身就已经附加了manifest文件，所以我们不能简单粗暴的创建一个manifest文件附加进去，需要先导出原来的manifest，修改后再导入。
导出manifest

mt.exe -inputresource:electron.exe;#1 -out:manifest.xml

修改manifest

导入manifest

mt -manifest manifest.xml -outputresource:electron.exe;1

Ok，搞定收工!

注: mt.exe通常在C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x64\目录下。
