[New-bugs-announce] [issue13486] msvc9compiler.py doesn't properly generate manifest files.

[Jahangir]

New submission from Jahangir <j4hangir at yahoo.com>:

msvc9compiler.py aims to generate a manifestation file but it will always fail as MSVC (cl.exe) needs a second /MANIFEST parameter to do so.

This makes the subsequent 'linking' processes fail with the following error:

general error c1010070: Failed to load and parse the manifest. The system cannot find the file specified.
