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

Hi Geogre,

Thank for your response!

What hash is used? Is it the hash generated by the
CryptCATAdmin* functions or just a simple hash of
the whole file?

Would you address specifically this part of my post.

You can use the platform SDK utility Mt.exe to generate hash. It is
available in Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Mt.exe generates hashes using the CryptoAPI implementation of the Safe Hash
Algorithm (SHA-1). The generated Hashes are inserted as a hexadecimal
string into the <file> tags in the manifest. I suggest you refer to the
following platform SDK documentation for the details:

Mt.exe

/supported_microsoft_side_by_side_assemblies.asp

By the way, I am afraid my first reply missed the point that the VS2005 has
already integrated the platform SDK's manifest tool. You can access that
option in the project Property Pages dialog. On the Configuration
Properties tab, click Linker, then Manifest File, then Generate Manifest...

One related MSDN documention on this topic is as the following:

Manifest Generation in Visual Studio
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235229.aspx

I hope the above information helps, if you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to let me know. I am standing by to help you.

Thanks!
