XP Styles with Visual Studio 2005

I have a project that build an MFC application that includes a manifest file
via its .RC file.

The manifest file is included in the .RC file using the following lines:

// now include our WinXP Styles manifest
CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID RT_MANIFEST
"res/MyApplication.exe.manifest"

This works just fine in VS-2003. However, when I attempt to link the
application with VS-2005 I get a message stating that there are duplicate
manifests.

If I remove the include of my manifest file the link goes fine. It appears
that a manifest is built automatically. However, when it's finished the
resulting application doesn't use the XP styles.

Is there any way to get VS-2005 to build a manifest that includes XP styles
or is there a way to get VS-2005 to accept the manifest via the .RC file?

Thanks,
Allan.
