Re: Fw: [Tinycc-devel] windows resources LinkRes2Exe.exe by Mike Henning

[Mike Henning]

I'm glad to hear it is working now! :)

Is the manifest file only being used to get the
enhanced XP common controls? If that is the case you
should specify a resource id of 1 for the manifest
file in your .rc script file and it should work at
startup.
