I have a .manifest
file which is linked with a .exe
program file so that it asks for admin privileges when opened. Now it is a separate file called program_name.exe.manifest
which is is the same folder as program_name.exe
. Is there any way by which we can embed the manifest file into the .exe
file so that it can be one single file instead of two.
BTW the program is created using C++
If you are using windows CL, like powershell, try
program_name.exe –manifest program_name.exe.manifest -outputresource:program_name.exe;1
That should do the trick.
Yes. Declare the manifest as a resource and then just build the resource object file and link it to your exe.
In your resource.rc
file, define your manifest resource like so:
IDR_RT_MANIFEST1 RT_MANIFEST "program_name.exe.manifest"
In your resource.h
file declare it with the value 1
#define IDR_RT_MANIFEST1 1
Build the resource file with windres: windres resource.rc -o resource.o
Link the resource when building your project: -l resource.o

If your're using Visual Studio you don't need to build it explicitly, but there are 2 options which should be set beforehand:
1) Project > Project_Name Properties > Configuration Properties > Linker > Manifest File -> Generate Manifest
set to No
2) Project > Project_Name Properties > Configuration Properties > Manifest Tool > Embed Manifest
set to Yes
Also add your manifest file to your project as existing item.
