Bug in XP causes blue screen if embedded manifest has duplicate xmlns tag

Building and Embedding a Manifest with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 for Windows XP and Windows Vista Applications

In Visual Studio 2005, the C/C++ integrated development environment (IDE) interface that permits the inclusion of additional manifest files in a target executable file does some processing on the XML, which inserts a duplicate xmlns tag. Because of this, the previously documented method on how to include a manifest in a Visual Studio 2005 C++ project cannot be used if the application should run on both Windows Vista and Windows XP. The following procedures are modified to include explicit version tags in the trustInfo section.

A fix is planned for the mt.exe tool to address the problem where it generates the duplicate namespace declaration in the XML. Until a new version of mt.exe is available, you can avoid the problem of merging manifests by explicitly adding in version tags into the trustinfo section of the manifest. A sample manifest is shown below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
   <ms_asmv2:trustInfo xmlns:ms_asmv2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
      <ms_asmv2:security>
         <ms_asmv2:requestedPrivileges>
            <ms_asmv2:requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker">
            </ms_asmv2:requestedExecutionLevel>
         </ms_asmv2:requestedPrivileges>
      </ms_asmv2:security>
   </ms_asmv2:trustInfo>
</assembly>
