Disclaimer: did not tried. You must somehow embed this
manifest file into your exe using some linker parameter. Or
put this manifest next to your exe by naming it
MyApplication.exe.manifest.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"

Work very well when I put this manifest next to your exe by
naming it MyApplication.exe.manifest. But how embed this
manifest file into exe using linker parameter? Can you send me
the exemple command?
A quick google search shows many ways:
1)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44030618/embedding-manifest-to-exe-file/44031483
this one would have worked if we had a working GDC compiler on
windows. Just skip to another option:
2)
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/how-to-embed-a-manifest-inside-a-c-cpp-application?view=vs-2019
mt.exe -manifest MyApp.exe.manifest -outputresource:MyApp.exe;1
PS: mt.exe is available with my cmd because Windows Kits are
installed on my Windows computer. I don't know how to have it
working otherwise.

This requires you to use visual studio. Maybe it can be achieved
with VisualD, I don't know.
