\c \\<b\\>none\\</b\\>|user|admin
Specifies the requested execution level for Windows Vista. The value is embedded in the installer's XML manifest and tells Vista, and probably future versions of Windows, what privileges level the installer requires. \e{user} requests the current's user level, be it normal user or administrator. \e{admin} requests administrator level and will cause Windows to prompt for the administrator password to verify privilege escalation. Specifying \e{none}, which is also the default, will keep the manifest empty and let Windows decide which execution level is required. Windows Vista automatically identifies NSIS installers and decides administrator privileges are required. Because of this, \e{none} and \e{admin} have virtually the same effect.

As Windows Vista is still in development, anything might change. It's recommended, at least by Microsoft, that every application will be marked with the required execution level. Installers that need not install anything into system folders or write to the local machine registry (HKLM) should specify \e{user} execution level.
