Embedding Manifest - error

[BrandonM]

Hello,
In VC++ whenever I try to compile using the Manifest option set to Yes, it
gets all the way to the link stage where it fails. I tried this using a
simple console app that does nothing but run and quit to make sure it wasn't
any code related issue.

In another forum, a member said this was a known issue, but couldn't point
me to a location for the issue/fix. He said he simply updated windows, I've
done that but it doesn't help. I've even installed a fresh copy of windows,
updated to the latest hotfixes/service pack, install VS2005 and tried to
compile, I get the same error. I tried reinstalling VS2005 and reinstalling
.NET Framework 2.0. The WinSxS directory does exist and has the vc.....
files in the ....CRT subdirectory. My system drive is D:. I dunno if that
makes any difference.

If I set Embed manifest = No, then it will compile and run. However, I'd
rather it work like it was intended.

I've left VS on the default settings.

Any ideas, suggestions or instructions on how to fix this would be greatly
appreciated. I couldnt' find anything on google

Brandon,

Did you get any resolution to the problem? I think i'm having exactly
the same problem. It fails in the manifest, complaining about: -

mt.exe:Command Line error c1010007:Unexpected/Unknown argument
"/notify_update"

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks!
Ash

When i shifted from Visual Studio 2003 to 2005 I faced the same problem
initially all you have to do it go the
Project Properties, under Manifest Tools click the Input and Output
menu

You have to just change the Embedded Manifest option from yes to No.
It worked for me and It should Work for you too

I, too ran up against this problem and found that it was related to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun registry
setting. Try renaming the "AutoRun" registry setting (I used "NoAutoRun")
and it should give you a clean build.
