Hello

When I searched this group for “macro and vista�, I found your article. It
is way above my head, but I think it can help me with my problem of macros
that worked in winxp but failed in vista.
Only, I don’t even know how to create the file APPLICATION.exe.manifest.
Windows help says click on file and new, but where my application resides,
there is no file.

Here is my original problem: With RemoteKeys
(http://www.freewarehits.de/RemoteKeys.htm) I created two macros transl and
write:
transl : copies Russian word and proposes English translations
{/BTCH.EXPLICIT}
{/BTCH.REM clear clipboard}
{/CLIP.CLEAR}
{/BTCH.REM highlight Russian word}
{HOLD.SHIFT/CONTROL}{KEY.RIGHT}
{/BTCH.REM copy Russian word}
{HOLD.CONTROL}{KEY.INSERT}
{/BTCH.REM move cursor behind word}
{HOLD.CONTROL}{KEY.RIGHT}
{/BTCH.REM open dictionary}
{/APP.OPEN iexplore,
http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?a=Sh...e=0&ShowLinks= ON&HL=2&L1=1&L2=2}
{/BTCH.REM wait3 sec}
{/BTCH.DELAY 3}
{/BTCH.REM paste Russian word}
{HOLD.SHIFT}{KEY.INSERT}
{/BTCH.REM click search}
{KEY.ENTER}
{/BTCH.REM job done}


write: copies English translation and writes it into Russian text
{/BTCH.EXPLICIT}
{/BTCH.REM clear clipboard}
{/CLIP.CLEAR}
{/BTCH.REM select and highlight by hand English translation}
{/BTCH.REM copy English translation}
{HOLD.CONTROL}{KEY.INSERT}
{/BTCH.REM close dictionary}
{/APP.TOFRONT.Microsoft Internet Explorer}
{HOLD.ALT}{KEY.F4}
{/BTCH.REM switch back to Word}
{/APP.TOFRONT Microsoft Word}
{/APP.ACTIVATION.LAST}
{/BTCH.REM wait 2 sec}
{/BTCH.DELAY 2}
{/BTCH.REM paste translation}
{HOLD.SHIFT}{KEY.INSERT}
{/BTCH.REM job done}
They both worked in WinXP, but fail in vista. So I would like to create the
file
RemoteKeys.exe.manifest
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<asmv3:trustInfo xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<asmv3:security>
<asmv3:requestedPrivileges>
<asmv3:requestedExecutionLevel
level="asInvoker"
uiAccess="true" />
</asmv3:requestedPrivileges>
</asmv3:security>
</asmv3:trustInfo>
</assembly>
Into Gerhard>Downloads>RemoteKeys, where RemoteKeys.exe is located.
But I don’t know how to create the file.
Thanks in advance, Gerhard
