It should work. I use an externalmanifestto get Commctrl6 so I can rename

Hi,
I finally was able to achieve this. Placing the manifest in the same
folder as the exe resolves works. But this solution worked only after
i applied the Vista SP1 update. Also I have two clients in which I am
testing this. In one of them I have to place my executable under the
"Program files" while in the other it works fine. Not sure this is due
to difference in updates i have applied or not applied.

Regards and take care,
rohit

Hi all,
We have started porting our application to accommodate vista security
changes.  We have a unique case. A particular exe can run in both
server environments like windows 2003/2008 server  and clients like xp/
vista. In the server env we want to run the executable as an
administrator but in the client environments it should be run with
invoker privileges. Is there any mechanism to loosely couple the
manifestfile with the exe. i.e i dont want to embed it using the
resource files. i have tried to use it by placing themanifestfile in
the same folder as the executable. the name of themanifestfile was
"myexe.exe.manifest". Any help would be greatly appreciated

P.S:The version of application has been built in VC6

Regards and TC
