    <p>Is it supported by Microsoft to simply rewrite the manifest of an EXE or DLL to force the use of a specific version of the MSVC CRT?</p> <p>I am interested in doing this because of recent problems with Visual Studio 2005/2008 security updates (<a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=155934" rel="nofollow noreferrer">KB971090</a> and <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=155933" rel="nofollow noreferrer">KB971092</a>). I would like to simply rewrite the manifest as a post build step in order to stop the problem of multiple versions of the CRT DLLs appearing there.</p> <p>The two versions of the MSVC CRT DLL in question are v8.0.50727.4053 and v8.0.50727.762, so only minor version number changes.</p> <hr> <p>This question has branched out from: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1265792/visual-studio-2005-security-updates-and-crt-dll-versions-in-manifest">Visual Studio 2005 security updates and CRT DLL versions in manifest</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
