Application Manifest File option does not appear under Add New Item ....

Question

After installing VS 2008 (and all it's updates), I:

1) Created a C++ MFC project

2) Right click on the project entry

3) Select Add>New Item ...

4) Dialog box pops up with NO "Application Manifest File" option  [Options are:  29 options appear from Windows Form to Report, but No "Application Manifest File"]

I have installed all options from VS 2008 and when I search online templates there are no additions to download.

What do I have to do to get the option: "Application Manifest File" to add?

Answer 1

Have you considered the Linker/Manifest File configuration item under the Project Properties?

Answer 2

That will work, great suggestion!
