Return Value

Microsoft security requires that the user provides Administrator level access in order to create and register the dynamic driver. The Platform's Dynamic Client Manager will trigger the UAC request process automatically and will, or will not, run depending on whether permission is granted. As an application developer, you are not directly involved in this automatic process. However, you should make your customers aware that the security dialogue will appear when creating the driver, and check that the modal UAC dialogue does not disrupt your application or UI while displayed. ///
