SxS manifests can be quite complex. Application manifests basically have elements that are entered once, though there are some that can have multiple entries. With SxS there can be several that have multiple entries and do not apply to application manifests. I wouldn't recommend using this project for creating a SxS manifest from scratch. It could be used that way if the user is very comfortable with all the XML elements that are needed and how each should be filled out. This project has very minimal support for SxS manifests -- basically useful for quickie edits of existing SxS manifests.

I started a thread in the classic VB section of the forum asking if anyone was willing to take on a SxS manifest tutorial. But even if someone jumps on it right away, it will take time to create.

Regarding any other questions about SxS manifests, suggest you start a thread in that classic VB section. You won't get the help you need in this thread. And honestly, I'd appreciate this thread not be used for that purpose.
