Here's some information on creating a product or a package manifest for a bootstrapper.

There are 3rd party applications that can create a bootstrapper manifest also.

Dear Bruce

I found your information and is very helpful. But one more thing that i have not mentioned is that manifest for UAC (User Access Control) in Vista. Vista requires that Apps's Installer must have an embedded manifest file that verifies the execution levels. It looks something like this:

<security>

<requestedPrivileges>

<requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false"/>

</requestedPrivileges>

</security>

My question actually is how to add or embed this manifest in my setup.exe file or bootstrapper. I need some more informaiton on this if you can help me.

You can do that with Visual Studio. Look in the project settings. If your application is .NET, you will have to add the necessary command line as post build.

I recommand you using thememe.exe as the manifest injecter tool provided with VS2005 has bugs.

There is no such project "settings" page or tab in Setup project type.
