All,

Currently we are upgrading our product to detect the windows 2016 server. Currently we use getVersionEx function to retrieve the required version information of the OS but we see like this function was deprecated from windows 8.1 platform onward. We also had a search on the alternative from the MS end where we found some info on version helpers function and we decided to use the same in our program but the problem here is the function returns false even on Windows 2016 server.

In order to proceed further we made some more search on this part, where in some of the blog we came across the manifesting the GUID in application to the detect the values. Currently we use Visual studio 2016 IDE where we can see the intermediate manifest file is being generated by default. I would like to know the information on the below query

1. Can you please share the complete step by step procedure on how to create the manifest file and embed the same with application?

Though we could see some information on manifest file but its not on the complete part.

We are not aware of creating or editing the manifest file and embedding the same into application using Visual studio. Could you provide your expertise that will help us to move forward

Thanks,

Dinesh
