Hi,
How to read a manifest file from executable using either vc++ or sdk?

What's a manifest file?
Do you mean a .NET assembly manifest? If so, it's XML - you can
read it the same way you'd read any XML file.

There is manifest file for native applications also. It can either be embedded in the executable file or can be used as standalong file. It basically points to which version of CRT, MFC, and other common controls to use from winsxs.

Resource digger[^] does it, tell me if that's what you want. I can share with you the function source which does this.
Basically manifest file is a resource of type RT_MANIFEST and it's embedded into an exe as such. So what resource digger does is that it loads the exe and searches for RT_MANIFEST resource type and get's the content of the resource and saves it to an XML file then opens it with the HTML control.

thanks. This is what exactly i am looking for. I opened my exe with your resource digger. I saw my manifest file. How to save it back to xml file. Does it do automatically ?. how to work with resource digger.
Is it possible for you to share the source code.
And i have one more question. I embed my manifest file in a resouece and linked that resource with exe. I ran that exe in vista. It ran with no UAC prompt. But when i tried to write into registry. It failed to do so. I used requireAdministrator in them anifest. It did not ask for credentials. Should it ask for credentials or not? if it does not ask then i want to enable UAC prompt asking for credentials there. Is it possible to do so programmtically (or) will it work if i do impersonation.
Regards

Well you've got to write code to get it working. 
So the algorithm is something like this
- Use
FindResourceEx to find resource of type RT_MANIFEST.
- Use
LoadResource to load found manifest resource
- Use
LockResource to get real data in the resource
- Save this data to an XML file and this will be your manifest file.

I am not so familiar with UAC in vista.

I'm using CopyFileW to copy a temporary downloaded file to proper location.
But in a rare scenario, CopyFileW didnt return any error but first 198,324 bytes of 454,086 bytes of destination file was written empty, rest of data is copied properly.
This was used on Windows XP.
Please tell me where would have gone wrong.

Looks like the download was not complete. Start the Copy FileW only after you are shure that the download is complete.

Download was successful and temporary file is perfect!!!
But when it is copied it did return a nonzero value but the destination file was corrupted.

It did return a nonzero value otherwise it would give a download error.

Yes. When a service is started, the service control manager expect the service to call StartServiceCtrlDispatcher()[^] with in 30 sec. I hope you havent called this function. Read the remark section in the above link for more details.

|
|

Your service has not called SetServiceStatus with the dwCurrentState field in the SERVICE_STATUS parameter set to SERVICE_RUNNING within "a timely fashion." That time is something like 20 or 30 seconds.

How can I get a reference to the Doc class instance
in the CMainFrame being part of a SDI project ?
Thanks a lot!

Check out GetActiveDocument [^] method.

Another possibility to what CPallini told you is to do the following.
Declare a CMyDoc variable in the StdAfx.h as extern. Then in the InitialUpdate of your view, use the GetDocument and assign it to that extern pointer/variable. Then you will be able to use it in every place on your programm.

You need a Browser Helper Object (BHO). There is a fine sample in the MSDN.
It is COM and Unicode, so it gets tricky at some point.
