XP Manifest Inserter

Windows XP ships with Common Controls version 5 and version 6. By default all windows apps use version 5. In order to force your app to use version 6 your application must have a manifest. It must also correctly call InitCommonControls(). A manifest is a text file with an xml script similar to this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Your App Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If your application is called 'MyApp.exe' then in the same directory you must have a manifest file called 'MyApp.exe.manifest' otherwise WinXP will use common controls v5. Instead of having a seperate manifest file, this project inserts the manifest into the executable file, and therefore, safeguards the manifest file from deletion or corruption.
