UAC plugin on 7 64-bit

Hi, can anyone verify that the UAC plugin properly executes 32-bit applications on Windows 7 64-bit?

Yes. I have not noticed any problem with the UAC plugin when installing/running my 32-bit application on Windows 7 64-bit version (both RC and retail)

Thanks. I had a user report that upon first install on Win7 64-bit, my app didn't run properly... Windows said there was a version with one of the libraries. After reinstalling, it worked.

Have yet to hear back from them to pinpoint the issue, but I had a hunch that perhaps the first time they ran my app, they did it by selecting "Run App" from the installer (which calls the UAC plugin), and the second time, they manually executed the app by clicking the icon. But I haven't been able to verify that, and you say everything works, so...

Thanks for letting me know.
