Adding or Replacing an Embedded XML Manifest File
If you have problems with automatically injected manifest resources in your programs or installers, and would like to get rid of this problem once and for all, Resource Tuner Console is the solution.
If you are disappointed by older applications using the outdated "chiseled 3D" look rather than the new XP look, or you need to express the application's requested privileges and tell Vista to run the application elevated, you normally have to place a specially-named file in the same directory as the executable. Resource Tuner Console offers a better solution by enabling you to inject the needed resource directly into the EXE file at the post-build stage.
Resource Tuner Console provides many ways of editing Application Manifest entries for EXE, DLL and CPL (Control Panel Applets) files. You can specify whether to add a new Manifest resource, or replace an existing Manifest resource with a manifest from an external .xml file.
For example, you have a Wise InstallBuilder installer that you want to add a manifest to for Vista User Access Control. Once you have prepared a script for adding the manifest, you can reuse it over and over again every time you build your installation package.
