XP Manifest Problem

Hi Everyone,

I am having trouble getting a manifest to work with my wxPython
application. This is almost straight from the sample application so I
am really baffled. The sample version works fine for me with nice
looking buttons etc.

Setup.py is below. Can anyone spot the problem?

Thanks,
Davy Mitchell

I didn't know py2exe could embed arbitrary resources, that's cool.

setup(name='LateDecemberBackup',
      author = 'Davy Mitchell',
      windows=["LateDecemberBackup.py"],
      other_resources = [(RT_MANIFEST, 1, manifest_template %
dict(prog="LateDecemberBackup"))],
      options=opts,
      cmdclass = {"py2exe": build_installer},
      zipfile = zipfile,
      data_files=[('.',rt_resources),('.',pycard_resources),('docs',doc_resources)]
      )

Based on other examples of doing this I found with google, it looks like the other_resources value needs to be part of the windows parameter, like this:

  windows=[{"script" : "LateDecemberBackup.py",
                   "other_resources" : [(RT_MANIFEST, 1, manifest_template % dict(prog="LateDecemberBackup"))],
    }],
