Hi Clint,

When you say that nothing happened, are you indicated that you restored the Windows Registry to what it was prior to your investigation on Aug 24, and removed manifest text files to get back to where you started, and then ran the SetScreenforAdagio utility with no result? Or was your starting point with all the changes you had made?

From what I can tell on testing this out - based on the log entries written to the AdagioScreenStatus.txt log, that the Windows Registry setting for PreferExternalManifest is made, and in each Adagio program folder, a new file is copied in with a name the same as the executable but with a .Manifest extension. For example, "..\Softrak\Ledger\Ledger.exe.Manifest".

I presume that the Windows user you are logged in as requires some minimum level of installation rights - that I also presume you have - in order to write to the registry. Does that AdagioScreenStatus.txt log reveal any clues to you after reading it? It's pretty short and doesn't log too much on any particular run.

The box on the bottom half of the utility screen, that lists each installed Adagio application, is looking for the "program.exe.manifest" file, and will display 'Externally set' if found, and 'Not set' if not found. Clicking Update should be copying in the manifest external file if not found.
