The reason I ask is that adding a manifest to the Vista version of the
program appears to be causing an error in operation!

I write to the registry via the installer.... setting the DataPath reg.
key/value as appropriate.
My program, at the very start (as it initialises), now reads the value and
does a SETPATH accordingly.

This works fine on XP.... and if I copy the same exe to *Vista* also works
just fine.
But the 'correct', manifest-added exe fails to read the registry, finding no
value there!!

Since the non-manifest'd EXE seems to look ok and work ok on 'big V' <g> -
remind me, why am I supposed to install a manifest??
