I thought signing is a optional requirement, and mainly for driver level code?

Anyway I doubt the control panel requires admin access, and the reason why the TV-server config has the admin prompt is because it has "setup" in its' filename. Maybe you would want to change that in future, or embed a manifest that says it does not require administrator access.

Another thing I see with the builds is that sometimes the application attempts to write to Program Files, and because UAC is on it is redirected to...
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Progr am Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal
This causes the version number display on starting Mediaportal to be that of a old version. Wiping out the directory will correct the version number. I cannot be sure if Mediaportal is running the old / new version when the directory is not wiped, maybe you would want to look into that.
