...something to do with manifest?

[NewsArchive]

I am moving my installations over to SB.... I've found a curious anomaly,
which is beyond my understanding.

I have a C55 program which runs fine, on W2K and XP (Vista is next week...
or next month <g>).
This program is in quite wide use, on XP, W98 and (yes)W95.

To be ready for Vista, as mantioned, I am re-doing the installer.
But when I now install my program from SB, I get curious white and black
background effects (see attached pics) - but on XP only, *not* W2k
My memory/instinct tells me that this is do with a manifest... transparent
controls?

But I have no manifest.

I *have* set up a SB script line which says that
if %WINVER% GTE "$WIN_VISTA$" then
#embed Vista manifest "[my program local path'" [asInvoker]

So, according to me, that should have no effect on an XP pc

What then could be the difference in installation between my old Wise
installation and the SB one... why am I getting these black & white areas in
my program in XP, when installed via SB?

TIA
