[no Bug] Installation/Configuration/MPEInstaller in WinXP do not prompt for admin rights (1 Viewer)

[mp-user]

MediaPortal Version: 1.2.0 Beta
Windows Version: Windows XP Home SP3

As this feauture is available in other installers I guess there is only something like a special manifest is missing for MediaPortal_Setup_1.2.0_Beta.exe

You may consider to add this in later installers.

In every case MediaPortal_Setup_1.2.0_Beta.exe, MPEInstaller.exe and Configuration.exe should check for necessary rights themself and quit with a nice error message if there are not enough rights.

But what is the bug? Does MP not get installed correctly under some situations? What actually needs fixing?

These exe files need admin rights, if you don't have them, installation/configuration will fail.

This is the reason I personally believe
1st: these exe-files should check if the we're started with admin rights and quit with a nice error message if not (this is surely possible).
2nd: We get an UAC prompt for Admin rights on Vista/Win7/Server2008(R2) but not on XP. I don't now how this could be done but I know that different installers pop up with the run-as dialogue before start on WinXP systems.
