Hi Andre,

Make sure that Clarion is not already embedding a manifest in the EXE.

You can set the IDE to generate one to see the effect of a compile & run,
just make sure it is not linking it in when you compile the EXE.

Thanks Charles

That seems to be it. I am removing all manifest generate in the apps.

Well, that worked for some files. I uncheck the Include default
application manifestation and uncheck generate manifest when compiling
the exe and SB still complains. Completely lost now. Anyone know how
to troubleshoot this?

Check the solution, and folder, to see if it's still there and then
recompile the EXE for one that's clean.

I take it that you are using Build Automator or some similar tool to copy
the EXE files to a staging folder, then you have SB creating the installers
from those files.

Make sure that all your source files for the installer are "fresh" after
you got rid of the ones with the embedded manifests.

You might need to delete the ones in your app build folder and force
Clarion to re-create others that do not have the manifest already embedded
in them.

It is still there Lee - I delete it and build the app again and Clarion
complains that it is not there. I have removed it from the project file
as well. No idea what to do.

It's probably FB!<g>

Open the EXE in a hex editor like TextPad and search for the literal
string "manifest" as shown in the attached screen capture. The
manifest is linked in as it exists on the hard drive so you should be
able to find it. After that...

1) Delete the EXE in the application generation folder
2) Delete the MANIFEST in the application generation folder
3) Open the cwproj file and make sure it's not in there
4) Compile WITHOUT generation.

SetupBuilder just uses a target folder. The file is being recreated.
If I delete the manifest file it keeps looking for it. I have removed
it from the project file as well. Seems to insist on a manifest file.

Found the problem - a seriously buggy Clarion IDE. Full of
inconsistencies. Instruction the IDE explicitly to not link the
manifest is ignored and the manifest resource is still included in the
project. Sometimes it removes it and sometimes it does not. I am
checking all apps now and explicitly removing it for those where the
checkbox do not link is not working.

Thanks for the help Lee and Charles - learnt another nuance and
something about manifests.
