Is there a difference? about #RequireAdmin

[Shark007]

Is there any difference in using #RequireAdmin from within your script vs using

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_requestedExecutionLevel=requireAdministrator which places the directive into the manifest?

It is my assumption that #RequireAdmin is simply available for when the scripter is not using the full scite.

Not really as there is also a #pragma option for this these days:

#pragma compile(ExecLevel, requireAdministrator)

The difference is when defined in the Manifest, it will be handed by the Windows OS were #RequireAdmin is handled by AutoIt3 and the script is re-shelled when not at the required level.
