View Full Version : Do not add MANIFESTDEPENDENCY element

From the docs:

"Do not add MANIFESTDEPENDENCY element

"If this checkbox is marked, this option causes the compiler to not generate
the "dependency" and "dependentAssembly" elements of the Publisher
Configuration File. As a result, the manifested application will load the
pre-6.0 common control library on XP and later Windows versions."

What is the significance of this and what are the implications of this for
those of us who are only human (not expert)?

Greg,

It means that you can add an application manifest to your exe to specify
user access and windows 7 compatibility without using the new common
controls. Your program will then not draw controls with the new themes and
look more like a windows 95 program.

Thanks Larry and Jane. Just what I needed to know just as I can understand it.

It would have been clear if my docs included the images.

You have downloaded the example files, right?

The screen shot was from the supplementary help file (written so that even a
girl can understand it <g>) that installs with the examples.

Downloading is one thing, having the time to use the fine material there is another.

Now if there was just one more day in the week...

Greg,

True enough -

Actually in a future SB release, Friedrich has promised the "Learning
SetupBuilder Part I CHM" reference will appear in the opening window IDE
Left Side list, but for now, I have it pinned to my Start Menu for easy
access.

So! When Jane reminds us - we have once again overlooked an important
explantion in her docs (or when doing research for the App Data UAC Safe
blog-chm) - I run over to it and refresh myself with the details.

BTW, for others following this message thread, and do not know about this
important CHM, here are some details:

Download from these locations -

Project Examples Package - along with SB examples, it will install

Learning SetupBuilder Part I chm

Default install location

C:\Users\<User Name>\Documents\SetupBuilder Projects\Examples

There is. It's called tomorrow and if a calendar is ever published
with that day of the week the entire world will be mighty tired the
day after tomorrow!
