RE: Using VC8 linker to generate isolated app manifest with dependencies.

Hi Geogre,

Thank you posting!

Is there a brief tutorial somewhere on how to use the
VC8 linker to generate a manifest for an isolated
application with a dependency section for an arbitrary
dll?

I am afraid the VC8 linker doesn't provide such function to generate an
application manifest, you need to manually create the specific application
manifest by yourself.

By the way, an application manifest only works for several specific
Microsoft Side-by-side Assemblies, the kernel32.dll is not a side-by-side
assembly, so an application manifest would not work in this case. Please
refer to the following MSDN documentation:

Supported Microsoft Side-by-side Assemblies
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sbscs/setup
/supported_microsoft_side_by_side_assemblies.asp

By the way, I noticed you have posted a related question in our
platformsdk.security, my colleague Jeffery have also provided a detailed
reply to you in that thread, please check it there.

Thanks!

Best regards,
