Hey Wez, We have:
_VC_MANIFEST_EMBED_EXE= $(MT) -manifest [EMAIL PROTECTED] -outputresource:$@;1 _VC_MANIFEST_EMBED_DLL= $(MT) -manifest [EMAIL PROTECTED] -outputresource:$@;2 which should embed the manifest. It works for CLI/CGI but somehow does not work wiht Apache (old CRT). Actually it works for implicit loading apache.exe -> php5apache2.dll -> php5ts.dll. Somehow it does not work when PHP tries to load an extension on startup.
