UAC starts minimized

I have an executable zipped to a selfextracting exe.

When the exe inside that zip file is started the UAC appears.

When I run the selfextracting exe, it extracts the exe inside to the temp
folder and runs it. When in this case the UAC is started minimized. So many
users won't see this.

How to make the UAC appear? Any idea

thank you,
Christoph

Do you mean that there is a taskbar button for User Account Control which
flashes in the taskbar? If so, this is by design. For certain things, User
Account Control will directly prompt you, and in other cases (for instance,
some setup applications) will invoke User Account Control minimized.
