  • Another Question

    From HarryC@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 31 19:55:27 2017
    Gary - I was kinda hoping for a yes or no answer.
    Up intill now the PDW worked fine now it asks these questions when
    installing. Someone told me it didn't really matter because Micosoft
    wouldn't let anything write over a newer file anyhow. I just want to
    know what to tell my clients and give my self a piece of mind.
    I have never written a manifest file and I have obtained INNO but
    haven't had the time to try it out.

    Thanks
    Harry

    A manifest is just an XML file you include in your package; -it doesn't
    matter what you use to build the package. It has the same name as your
    app.exe with ".manifest" appended to it.

    You can get a tool for making manifests from VB6Zone...
