If you have an EXE, you can embed a manifest it that will make it require adminrights on Windows 7/Vista.

Edit: The entire that does this manifest would be:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
 <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
    <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
    <security>
        <requestedPrivileges>
        <requestedExecutionLevel level="highestAvailable" uiAccess="False" />
        </requestedPrivileges>
     </security>
    </trustInfo>
  </assembly>
