How can I make an app (one that's installed by a PA.com installer) always start as admin?
Some apps do need it, but don't request admin rights automatically, so they can be used in readonly mode. I want full access, always. Therefore, I'm looking for some sort of "AlwaysAdmin" or "AlwaysElevate" kind of flag, somewhere...
How do to this?

The PA.c Installer doesn't support launching an app as admin from the "Run AppName Portable Now" checkbox that isn't set to ask for admin itself at present.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
