Developing Apps with Administrator Rights in Delphi

I'm using D2010 under Windows 7 to write an app that seems to require admin rights (I think because it uses COM to communicate with a third party .exe, which also requires admin rights).

I've added the manifest resource as required, but when I try to debug the app from the IDE, it reports

"Unable to create process. The requested operation requires elevation"

...and it won't run. If I run Delphi as administrator, then my app runs correctly, but this feels like a dangerous brute force approach, especially as most of the apps I develop don't need admin privileges.

Is there any way of getting Delphi to prompt for elevation just when I run my app, rather than having the whole IDE run elevated?
