Make sure you use NSIS version v2.22 or higher and then add the line blow to your script...

RequestExecutionLevel admin

For the rest, see your own quote ;)

RequestExecutionLevel admin

using this command can elevate setup.exe's privileges really, but can't elevate my program.

After installed, it can't run unless manually enable the option of "Run as a administrator".

Embed a manifest in your program as well. For more details, see MSDN.

Just to be sure,

If I use "RequestExecutionLevel admin" I do not need the .manifest file anymore ? I am talking about the setup file made in NSIS, not the program it installs.

Thanks.

That's correct. That command adds the manifest.
