Hi Jeremy,
I must admit that I had the same confusion as you regarding this. The only
thing I can suggest is to try using a blank string, try using "win32," and
see which one works.

Thanks Kevin,
It looks to the documentation is cheating me, I got it's Required and must
be Win32 in lower case from:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...91(VS.85).aspx but optional
from Manifest File Schema documentaion
(
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...35(VS.85).aspx)
And, I can't distinguish Application Manifests and Assembly Manifest as the
required elememts are all same (assembly, assemblyIdentity), so how can I
tell which manifest it is if it's only contains these two elements?
Thanks,
Jeremy
