Example of a proper Manifest

[NewsArchive]

Can anyone send me an example of a proper Manifest?
I just looked at one my app created and there are too many (more than 0)
number
of times that Clarion is mentioned in the fest. Can I change that to My
company name? Also anything else I need to adust in the manifest?

TIA

The easiest way to always have the correct manifest is to just let
SetupBuilder apply it to your app for you.

Select the Windows 7 compatibility option, leave it set asinvolker and your
done.

Why work hard when Friedrick will keep up with Microsoft and do the changes
for you?

As for text in the manifest, I never change it from what SetupBuilder puts
in, there is no need to.

BTW - if you want the app manifested for testing, just copy any manifest
file from your PC into the testing folder and rename it as
YourApp.exe.manifest. That will allow you to compile/run for testing and
meanwhile when SetupBuilder adds the manifest to your shipping app - it
will ALWAYS be right<g>.

Do do I still create the manifest in my app, or just have SB do it.

Thanks

Dan,

I create an EXTERNAL manifest during development and then let SB link
an internal manifest as the install is created. The second step is
code signing, also handled by SB.

The external manifest during development allows test runs of the
program as manifested.

Just let SB do it.

The only time you might need a manifest is if you want to see it during
testing.

So as Lee said, you can let Clarion create it (or just use any Windows 7
manifest file renamed per my other E-mail), but don't have the external
manifest linked into the app.

Then let SB do that as your building the installer.

Hi Dan,

> Do do I still create the manifest in my app, or just have SB do it.

If you want to see how your program looks like, then yes:) Our utilities
include a template to include a fully XP/Vista/Win7 compatible manifest in
your app. I believe C7/C8 include the option to add the Win7 compatible
manifest so you only need this template if you are working in C6 or older:)

Best regards,

Dan,

I generate one for my apps and also let SB manifest the install. I've not opened
an actual manifest file for over a year.

Works perfectly. Just do it.
