Though Windows Vista will automatically request elevation for NSIS installers we should explicitly request it in the exe's manifest. This will require upgrading NSIS.

patch - requires upgrading NSIS

r=sspitzer, but does this mean we need to ask our buddies in release to upgrade NSIS on the build machines.  And, that would only be for trunk build machines, right?

this patch looks like something mscott might also need to worry about, for tbird.

exactly, and this bug depends on bug 370438 which is to upgrade NSIS.

Yes and Sunbird as well. I plan to file the appropriate bugs and provide patches as well.

btw: upgrading NSIS will not break the other apps if they don't specify this... it has a default value of none and Vista special cases NSIS installers to auto require elevation though I will patch the other apps.
