I converted a 2.99 project to FireFly v3.09 (running on Windows 7 Home Premium x64). It said it worked OK, and it compiled OK, but it wouldn't start after being compiled. I then ran it by hand and got the message:
QuoteThe application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.
(See image attachment.)
So, I checked the Windows event log and found:
Quote
Windows Application Log
Level: Error
Source: SideBySide
EventID: 59
Activation context generation failed for "path and filename.exe". Error in manifest or policy file "path and filename.exe" on line 3. Invalid Xml syntax.
(Shortened to "path and filename.exe" as it wouldn't let me copy/paste this stuff.)
So I checked CODEGEN_AAAA.Exe.Manifest and found (line numbers and tabs added by me):
1

25 </requestedPrivileges>

If I go to project properties and uncheck "Enable Theme support" it works.
Has anyone encountered this? How can I fix this?
Thanks!
