Stardock Central not running elevated

from Stardock Forums
Back in the old days (the last SDC release) Stardock Central would demand elevation and wouldn't run without it. Now, it runs without asking for elevation, which makes it pretty pointless since it no longer is able to update or anything.

Could we get a manifest deployed with the next release to get it to run elevated again?

Running as admin will work for now.

Yeah, I noticed this too. If you right-click the icon and choose Run As Admin it'll work. Why was this changed in the last release?

Interesting note, the current build of SDC is build 163. Yet the history.txt (accessed by going to Help > History in SDC) has an entry for build 164 which reads "Added manifest to make sure SDC requests admin rights when running with UAC on Vista" and "Fix for an upgrade issue with x64 Vista". The interesting part is that the major version (2.51.512) matches the current build 163 which we're using, not the build 164 that... well, we're not.

Are we using the version with the manifest added, or not?

Just to push this to the top, as Neil replied to the other thread saying that updating will solve the problem, but based on the skewed versioning I don't think it will.
