No not really. I am asking for a change in the Import Com ActiveX etc in the Studio to have the option to automatically generate a manifest from the package (like Step 1 in the Manifest Modifier from Anasazi Software, Inc.). Then have some means of (or maybe as simple as if there is a manifest for the pkg then use it) to tell the compiler to include these external class manifests in the application manifest- again just like the 2nd step in Manifest Modifier. The compiler only needs to do it once because once they are added using the Manifest Modifier then the VDF Compiler just leaves these extra parts alone.

So essentially it's just to automate the manual process of adding Side by Side registration of external DLL/OCX that some of us are using the Manifest Modifier to accomplish.
