AMD 64 Optron and Manifest
When I add manifest to my application it does not work on AMD Optron 64 Biit platform. But the same application when built without Manifest works fine. I am a little puzzled wether Manifest has any special mechanism of deployment on AMD optron 64 bit machine.

In the application manifest, there is an element named <assemblyIdentity> which has a processorArchitecture attribute.
<assemblyIdentity
version="1.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
name="CompanyName.ProductName.YourApplication"
type="win32"
/>
Maybe you can try to replace the processorArchitecture attribute by something like "x64" or "X64".
(I found no mention of such a thing using the MSDN search engine but you can still have a try...)
We are trying to embed the manifest in Binaries (dlls) and when we investigated in them we found following in the binaries.
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC80.CRT" version="8.0.50215.4652" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
here the processor architechture is "amd64" do we need to make it x64?
please let us know.
Are you trying to run your application on the same machine you built it or on another one?

on a different machine with no VC8 installation. We have provided the VS 8.0 Runtime though!
i tried the steps mentioned in the article. but stiil it is not working.
i tried to see the dependency for CallMethods.exe. it shows the following error:
Error: The side-by-side configuration information in "c:\sched_mani\bin\winnt.5.2.1_x86-64_msvc_8.0\samples\CALLMETHODS.EXE" contains errors. This application fails to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may (14001)
i am using the following cl:
C:\build>cl
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.50215.44 for x64
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
usage: cl [ option... ] filename... [ /link linkoption... ]
C:\build>
and the following manifest files:
Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT.manifest
Microsoft.VC80.DebugMFC.manifest
Microsoft.VC80.MFC.manifest
Could you try the most recent RC build. It looks like there something regarding the installation of the SxS on the 64bit machine.

sorry i didnt get you. what is 'RC' build?
after installing ".Net Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package Beta 2 x64 (64 bit)" on test machine from http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/downloads/netframework/ CLI's are working but GUI samples still shows the "side-by-side" configuration issue (errno 14001)
Could you put it under the debugger and see which dlls are trying to be loaded?
