Hi Jez,
Did choice No. 1. I placed the manifest file in the same directory as
the resulting exe. Negative results.
I tried to use ResHacker but, I think it's complicated. Is there a way to
just include the file when perlapp is used?
Regards,
Sam Dela Cruz

Hi,
You have two choices:
1) Include the manifest in the same directory when you ship your exe.
2) Add the manifest directly to the exe.
The second approach is more "professional", but is more involved. I use
resource hacker to do this.

Cheers,
jez.
