DLL redirection using manifests

Hi, I need to reliably redirect an applications look up of a specific DLL. Using the app.exe.local approach does not work because local files are ignored if the application has a manifest (embedded or separate file).

Is there a way to define both assemblies and non-assembly files that need to be deployed in a ClickOnce application, from within a Visual Studio project?

So I am trying to figure out if there is a way to define the files and assemblies I need deployed with a ClickOnce app, from within Visual Studio.

Dll loaded twice with Dll redirection through manifest

Hi there, I'm including python.h in my VC++ dll project which causes an implicit linking with python25.dll.

Create SxS manifest from managed COM assemblies

Embedding an application manifest into a VB6 exe

I have recently gone through a bunch of standalone utility apps written in VB6 to make sure that registry virtualization is turned off for Windows Vista and above.

Need insight into how manifest is being generated for C++ program

When I run an executable that I built, I get the following error: The system cannot execute the specified program My immediate thought was that it was a dependency problem with one of the VC8.0 re-distributable DLLs (msvcr80d.dll et al.). We have had a few problems with patched versions of these DLLs affecting our programs. When I...

Manifest vs Properties file format

After some searching on Google and here, I still haven't found any answer to the following: Is there a reason that JAR manifests don't just use the properties format? I am guessing this is historical but it would be nice to know how exactly this came to be was the decision not to use properties format explicitly made or was the proper...

LoadLibrary() fails to load DLL with manifest and private assembly

I am working on a Windows application (EXE) that uses multiple DLLs. Development is in VCExpress 2005 (VC 8.0), using C only.

Programmatically grabbing DLL manifest information with Python or other common scripting language / tool.

Hi, I am having a problem like this one: http://svn.haxx.se/tsvnusers/archive-2008-07/1051.shtml Except that the app is our own (sorry, won't give you confidential details). Although, it is not our fault that SideBySide is so flawed. Anyhow, version X works and version Y bombs right at the start. I am facing the task of walking throug...
