OK, I thought I understood this, but it's not quite working.

I have the following directory structure:

    py3embed
        py3embed.manifest
        ... an unpacked Python 3.6b0 embedded distribution
    ssh.exe
    ssh.exe.manifest

(ssh.exe is my embedded Python program)

py3embed.manifest is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
    <assemblyIdentity name="py3embed"
                      version="3.6.111.1013"
                      type="win32"
                      processorArchitecture="amd64" />
    <file name="python3.dll" />
    <file name="python36.dll" />
    <file name="vcruntime140.dll" />
</assembly>

ssh.exe.manifest is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

When I run ssh.exe, it fails with the message "The program cannot start because 
python3.dll is missing from your computer". I tried running it with sxstrace 
active, but the resulting log file is empty.

I'm not sure where to go next debugging this. Do you have any suggestions?
