Changes
-------

Submitted with commit 246298e57ed7ff7a3cbabe5fc9f95957cb6dc257 by Ralf Habacker to branch KDE/4.14.


Bugs: 384334
    http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384334


Repository: kdelibs


Description
-------

This patch fixes an issue that on the first start of KMyMoney (and on some computers on every start for example reported by https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=141673&sid=ba4dcaa26018f16e19d21c58c34ad4e9) on running kconf_update the user account control pops up and forces the user to allow or deny  this application.

Commit message

   Add Windows manifest to  kconf_update.exe
    
    This explicitly sets the execution level to 'asInvoker', preventing
    Windows' UAC heuristics from deciding that because its name mentions
    "update", it probably needs to escalate privileges.
