    Hi all, I am using VS 2008 for the first time.I was working with VC++6.0. And i am trying to compile the project which was done with VC++6.0. When i am building the project i am getting the error like this CVTRES : fatal error CVT1100: duplicate resource. type:MANIFEST, name:1, language:0x0409 LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt I have googled out and found that if Generate manifest option in Project+properties+Linker is set to off this linker error will not come. But i am not able to run the exe which is generated. Please help me. Regards Deepu.

      you need a manifest in VS2008 by design!!! Throw out the manifest of the rc File. You can include it in the manifest tool -> additional manifest.

      Press F1 for help or google it. Greetings from Germany

        Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

              You can turn off the manifest generation step in the linker tool so long as you always distribute the application with the manifest contained in a separate file in the same directory as the executable. As this page[^] says, Application manifests are copied into the same folder as the application executable file or included as a resource in the application's executable file..
