How to manifest?

[NewsArchive]

Hello Friedrich and all others,

as far as I recall, you once recommended to NOT use the option to add a
manifest inside Clarion.

Instead you recommended to let SetupBuilder do this during compile of the Installer EXE.

Is that still valid?

Thanks,
Wolfgang

That is what we still do.

Having Friedrich do the manifest means that it is ALWAYS right since the
latest SetupBuilder is always in tune with the standards.


Just drop an external manifest file into your compile directory (so that
you get to see the effects of the manifest when you compile/run).

Then let SetupBuilder do all the heavy lifting for you!

What Charles said :) And the upcoming SetupBuilder 8.1 lets you embed a
Windows 8.1 compatible manifest to make your own applications Win81-aware.
