The following is a manifest.xml file for use with C++11.
NOT for use with Visual Studio anything.
NOT for use with .NET anything.
It works for ME.
I am using some intense game graphics and process logic. I have found that Microsoft has been trying (for years) to lock programmers (outside of Visual Studio and .net) from using straight C++ as written by Stroustrup. I have been allowed to find another way to remove more of Microsoft's attempted blocks from my using C++.
For years, I used Visual Studio. I programmed in it for a long time. Now I am working toward quitting using Visual Studio and .net completely.
You should do the same.
Change the extension to the attached file from ".txt" to ".xml" .
Enjoy.
