Embedding manifest forever...

OK confessions out of the way - I went through the project properties and changed a bunch of stuff I shouldn't have. Then I built a release version without changing the directory, which defaulted to debug and dumped stuff there. Now neither one works.

In the debug version everything compiles OK, but at the end it sits there and says "Embedding manifest." And hangs. I go make coffee, play video games, come back and it's still pretending to embed manifest (today being the first I ever heard of embedding manifest).

It compiles in a different order now too, if that means anything.

It worked fine yesterday, which is why I wanted to try a release version.

Dave,

I haven't heard of anything like that either, but I was wondering if this looked familiar to you:

Someone else who seemed to have your same problem...

Though I probably can't help much more, i did find this M$ article on manifests, it might help you out at some point!

(and here's an developer with a bit more of an explanation if you need to create your own)
