Comment (by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:20 dcf]:
 > It seems like we're on the right track. Are you able to test embedding a
 manifest in flashproxy-client and obfsproxy? That's the next thing I'd
 try. Then you have to test it some way that doesn't involve running it
 from the command line (like building a wrapper that sets environment
 variables and runs obfs-flash-client).

 I tried doing the same `uac_info` thing for flashproxy-client.exe and
 obfsproxy.exe, and there was no change. I thought that maybe "Start Tor
 Browser.exe", vidalia.exe, and tor.exe might also need to have manifests,
 but I didn't know how to do that. I tried going into their properties, and
 put them in "Windows 7" compatibility mode, but nothing changed.

 Also, when I did the test with `"uca_info": "requireAdministrator"` on
 obfs-flash-client.exe, I got this popup after closing Vidalia:

 I ran it again, and this time a UAC dialog popped up when tor.exe tried to
 run obfs-flash-client.exe "...needs to make changes on the computer." I
 said yes, but the program failed as before. Now I wonder if the
 compatibility assistant is magically turned on for everything using the
 same path...
