Vista Problem

[smh_2007]

Hi To All,

I am trying to understand the need for a manifest file when installing to Vista. I think I need to include the #embed vista manifest directive. I'm a little unsure of what values to assign in the dialog box.

I also have to register dlls on the Vista Ultimate box. I know the programmer who wrote the dlls embeds a manifest in them.

Thanks for the help,

Sharon

Sharon,

You only need the #embed Vista manifest directive to specify the minimum execution level required by *your* application for running on Windows Vista platforms. The SetupBuilder compiler embeds a Windows Vista-aware application manifest in *your* application.

If your development system can embed a Vista-aware manifest into your application, you don't need this function.

Does this help?

BTW, never use this directive on your setup.exe. By default, the compiler generates Vista-aware installations for you!

Hi Friedrich,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I spoke with our lead programmer who will work with me on his embedded manifests for each component to our software.

Let's hope that works!
