For a), it should work by adding a manifest like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
  <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0"
      processorArchitecture="X86"
      name="MyProjectName"
      type="win32" />
  <description>MyProjectDescription</description>
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
    <security>
      <requestedPrivileges>
        <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" />
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
  </trustInfo>
</assembly>


"$(DevEnvDir)..\..\Common7\Tools\Bin\mt.exe" -manifest
"$(ProjectDir)$(TargetName).exe.manifest"
–outputresource:"$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)";#1
