Somehow my reply from yesterday evening didn't come through ...

more info about manifests can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997646.aspx#xptheming_topic3

especially at the end of that section you find:

        When you add the previous entry to the resource you must
        format it on one line. Alternatively, you can place the
        XML manifest file in the same directory as your application's
        executable file. The operating system will load the manifest
        from the file system first, and then check the resource
        section of the executable. The file system version takes precedence.

hope that helps ...
