Shims and manifest settings are two completely different things.

What's more similar to shims are "compatibility settings". In fact, compatibility settings are nothing but a specified "group of shims".

However, for a VB6 compiled executable, I've never seen any need for any shims nor compatibility settings. But, there is occasionally a need for some manifest settings.

Regarding the IDE, for optimal functionality, a few shims do help. But, using a full set of compatibility settings often does more harm than good. Basically, that's what this thread is about.
