Solved How to get Uninstall to enforce Admin Priv?

[bumpersticker]

I have an application written in our own scripting language, which includes its own installer, which works fine if run with Admin privilege. We can get Vista to check for admin privilege by naming the image xyz_INSTALL, but how can I get Vista to recognize that Admin privilege is required to UNinstall? If I uninstall from Control Panel without Admin privilege, no warnings appear and the uninstall goes south by not being able to delete its files. I've read about manifest, but it's unclear where a private language would make it visible to Uninstall, or are the registry fields I can set? Thanks.

Thanks for the reference. I'll use that if necessary. In the meantime, I wrote a small uninstall.exe that simply invoked the original uninstaller, put in in program files, and pointed the install string in the registry to it and it seems enough to get Vista to ask for admin privilege when uninstalled from the control panel.
