Hi, When using method 1 you have to match the exe names. So, if your exe is called "pants.exe", then the manifest has to be called "pants.exe.manifest". I've tried this with several applications, so this should work for perlapp.
As for ResHacker - it is quite complicated, you have to create a 'rc' file which is added to your exe via command line options in ResHacker.
