Applications manifest file causing problems on Win 7 environment

My app has been upgraded along the way from .net 1.1 to 3.5. On win 7 64 bit environment I have o manually remove the app.exe.manifest file as otherwise it crashes when it launches.

I use a visual studio deploy & setup project to install. In the exe's application settings itself i've tried all the options in the dropdown relating to what manifest file to use including using none (manifest still gets created).

Ideally i'd like the office look and feel but worst case scenario having it work full stop is fine now, with or without.

Any help appreciated.

Update: Manifsest file

<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity
    type="win32"
    name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
    version="6.0.0.0"
    processorArchitecture="x86"
    publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
    language="*"/>
</dependentAssembly>

So, for a 64 bit environment, this clearly isn't going to work, but I add that this is the manifest that is created when i set 'Create application without a manifest' in my application settings.
