This has been deprecated. It sounded like a great idea at the time (~8 years ago) but caused more problems than it solved. Somehow I missed the announcement of the deprecation.
The feature itself probably hasn't been officially deprecated, but using it for the C and C++ runtime libraries has not been required for a long time now. (I need to be more careful that I don't accidentally announce things that may not be true :) )
When I first heard of Windows manifests, though, my first reaction was that it sounded like a solution that was more complex than the problem it was trying to solve.
Indeed.
Cheers, Steve
