Add correct manifest to application
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2011 5:46 pm
I just checked out the Manifest PureBasic adds to my applications. One thing that got my attention was this part:
Could you please equate the following with the information I'm setting in the Compiler Options under Version Information (only of enabled of course):
On MSDN's related page it says that:Manifest of my application wrote:processorArchitecture="X86"
...I guess setting it to "*" instead of "X86" (when compiling for 32bit) would be best then?! A commenter on that page endorses it, saying:MSDN wrote:Important Set the processorArchitecture entry to "X86" if your application targets the 32 bit Windows platform, or to "amd64" if your application targets the 64 bit Windows platform. You can also specify "*", which ensures that all platforms are targeted, as shown in the following examples.
And if you're already updating the Manifest PureBasic adds:MSDN Commenter wrote:Should be processorArchitecture="*"
Please, PLEASE change the samples in the article to processorArchitecture="*" instead of "processorArchitecture="X86"" because processorArchitecture="X86" works on x64 sometimes - just enough to miss it during testing but failing very badly in production deployment.
Could you please equate the following with the information I'm setting in the Compiler Options under Version Information (only of enabled of course):
Manifest of my application wrote:version="1.0.0.0"
name="CompanyName.ProductName.YourApp"
