Title
Body
Recently, I encountered a very strange issue, this issue only happens in Windows XP SP3 and Vista. Here are my steps: Create two new folders in desktop (assume folder names are A and B) Copy Microsoft GraphEdit ( graphedt.exe ) application to A folder, then create a empty graphedt.exe.manifest file as well. Run graphedt.exe , you will see a error message, the graphedt.exe can’t run due to the wrong manifest. Copy Microsoft GraphEdit ( graphedt.exe ) application to B folder, run graphedt.exe and close it, then create a empty graphedt.exe.manifest file, run graphedt.exe again, you will see the manifest file can’t apply to graphedt.exe . But if you change the last modified time of graphed.exe , the manifest will work again. It seems Windows will remember the status the first time the EXE uses a manifest file, but also Windows will reset the old remembered status if you change the EXE size or last modified date.
