I can help getting this fixed within PyInstaller, but I would like some help
from someone which understands manifest files, or can at least point me to a
decent explanation. Can you help me with that?
FWIW, I can offer some personal experience with adding a manifest (using
py2exe):
I have a wxPython program, and some of the controls weren't getting
displayed correctly. From the wxPython mailing list, I learned of the
need for a manifest file, which should be included in the same folder as
the executable and named to match the executable (it seems to act sort
of like a "local registry"). Since I wasn't doing a single-file exe, it
was easy to include the file in my setup.py.
I've attached the file, which is used by a program called
PeriodTblMaint.exe. (I have no idea about the contents of the file -- I
just copied it from an example on the mailing list.)
You can get a bit more information by searching for "manifest" on the
newsgroup gmane.comp.python.wxpython (in gmane.org).
