Hey,

I want to set my (win32) application to use the winXP visual styles and Comctl32.dll version 6, which judging from the documentation I need to do with a manifest.

I'm using visual c++ express beta 2, which has an option for Additional Manifest files, in which i've filled in the path to an xml document containing what I think is the relevant manifest for what I want :

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity
            type="win32"
            name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
            version="6.0.0.0"
            processorArchitecture="X86"
            publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
            language="*"
        />
    </dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</assembly>
However, the compiler output gives an 'error 32' from 'ml.exe' and not much else. Anyone got any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

thanks in advance!
