Program Compatibility Assistant

[GencoreOperative]

Hello,

Testing a GUI on Windows 7, it looks like the generated executable triggers the Windows Program Compatibility Assistant.

It appears we need to include a manifest file in the compiled executable. How do we configure the Maven plugin to do this?

If I use the tag with a file named as per the Javadoc, I get this error:

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is in correct. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I think the problem is that Launch4j itself doesn't support embedding manifest into a generated exe, so plugin won't help here.
