On second thoughts I think we should also remove the compiler check and emit this code now unconditionally. It will be a no-op if you use a compiler that doesn't generate a manifest. The advantage of removing the compiler check is that this will make things work for the latest 64-bit VC versions as well. The current check was explicitly not adding the manifest code in 64-bit build because the VC version in the Windows 2003 Platform SDK uses the same version number as VS 2005, but links against the 64-bit version of MSVCRT.dll and therefore doesn't generate a manifest. The new code should be safe for all compiler versions. Cheers, -JanThread Previous | Thread Next
