I hope you enjoy the article and don’t dislike the idea of such a general overview about two really extensive subjects like x64 and Windows Vista. I noticed during the writing that I had to put a lot of images in the article and that this might be problem for slow connections. I’m sorry for that, but it’s the direct consequence of not subdividing this paper in more articles.

  2. Be careful, MFC has its own manifest, if your new manifest is not defined with ID = 1, then you’ll end up with two manifests in your application. The first one is the MFC one and has ID 1 and yours with ID, let’s say, 101. Of course, yours will be ignored, only the manifest with ID 1 is considered. Check this situation with the CFF Explorer. The solution is easy, just make sure that in resource.h your manifest ID is defined as 1.
