Packing application with .manifest
Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2025 7:10 am
Hello,
I am using Enigma Virtual Box and I am trying to package an application into a single executable file. The application includes a .manifest file that references the `Qt.Libs` directory, which contains the required version of the Qt libraries.
I have added the executable file, .manifest file and the directory containing the Qt libraries to VirtualBox, and compiled the file. However, when I run the compiled file, sxstrace indicates that the libraries referenced in the manifest cannot be found.
If I move the library directory next to the compiled file, the application runs correctly. It seems that VirtualBox is not applying the manifest within its file system, but instead outside of it.
Could you please advise me on how to ensure that the manifest is applied to the virtual file system within VirtualBox?
