Manifest problem
One of my apps will not run on Server 2008 when I embed the Vista manifest,
as Invoker and UI Access not checked. This app is located in
Clariondataserver\data for later conversion to IPD. It was copied from my
dev pc to the sites 2008 server. If I embed the XP manifest it works. App
was generated in C7/C6 mode. On the Server 2008 which is a quad core
dedicated server the application runs quite slowly. we have oplocks
disabled, caching off and AV not scanning the tps files. It is a brand new
install today using Terminal Services..App works perfectly on XP Pro and
Server 2003. Setup Builder was not used for the install. Am I missing
something? Any ideas where I might look in the morning?
Thanks

Hi Nev,
FWIW, we don't embed a manifest from Clarion (instead we keep an external
manifest file in the app folder during development for testing).
We use SetupBuilder to embed a Windows 7 manifest in the app during the
installer compile.
As a result we have no known manifest problems on any OS.

Re: Manifest problem
G'day Charles
Thanks for that insight. Where do you get your Win7 manifest from or will SB
generate it for you?

SB will do it as the install is built.

Like Lee said, just let SB manifest the file for you.
To get an external manifest for local testing, just take any .manifest file
from a Windows 7 capable exe (search your hard drive and you should find
several) and rename it as executable_name.manifest.
Then when you compile/test you will see the effect of the manifest and when
the app ships (via the installer) it will always be correctly manifested by
SetupBuilder.

BTW - the external manifest must be in the same folder as the executable.

Icetips Utilities can also generate and embed Vista/Win7 compatible
manifests:) Haven't had any issues with them on any OS either:)
