I'm creating an installer using Inno Setup. As part of the install process I'm installing Tomcat. On Windows 7 I suffer from the problem described here:
http://blog.paulbouwer.com/2010/10/23/the-case-of-the-annoying-tomcat-6-monitor/
I can fix it by manually setting the 'Run as administrator' on tomcat7w.exe
(the issue and the root cause is the same for tomcat7 as well), but I don't know how to do it through Inno Setup.
I'm finding threads that explain running some_program.exe
as administrator, but here the program is started when the Tomcat service starts (e.g. on machine start-up), so I need a way to flag it using Inno Setup to 'Run as administrator' rather than actually run it.

as a default action for running this app.Example:
