I believe WinBatch Studio could handle this more gracefully. The main Studio EXE could be set to run "as invoker", and whenever it needs to perform an admin task (such as putting licensing data in the registry), it could spawn a second executable set to run "highest available" or "admin".
UAC, love it or loathe it, is here to stay and many are opting not to disable it (I've found workarounds for all of my RunWithLogon woes so I personally think disabling it is more of a convenience than a necessity). I'd like it if WinBatch behaved better under these circumstances. At the moment it stands out as one of the only two apps in our organization throwing needless UAC dialogs.
For several version WinBatch has shipped with 7 different WinBatch Studio and WinBatch exes that cover all the possible manifest combinations. File extension associations are used to control which version of an exe is launched when a file is executed or opened.
Recommendation:
Instead of the default WinBatch Studio, make a shortcut to 'C:\Program Files\WinBatch\System\WBStudio_IF.exe' and use that
for WinBatch Studio.exe. Or even delete WinBatch Studio.exe and make a copy of the above file and name it WinBatch Studio.exe instead.
