I've seen a number of problems relating to the manifest file reported
(mainly with perl 5.10). These result in errors such as:
* install_driver(Pg) failed: Can't load
'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.dll' for module DBD::Pg: load_file:A
dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed at
C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 202.\n at (eval 29) line 3\n
* R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library
incorrectly. [more]
The PPMs contains an external manifest filef or Pg.dll, this means that
for many users the calling executable (perl.exe, httpd.exe, etc.) also
needs a 'executable.exe.manifest' that is a copy of Pg.dll.manifest to
load the C runtime correctly. If instead the manifest was imbedded
inside the dll (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235229(VS.80).aspx looking for
Embed Manifest) it would be available to all calling applications as it
would be a text resouce inside the DLL.
Thanks.
