[SOLVED] Targeting your application for Windows 10

[Deepaak]

Developing apps for windows 10 how to add this manifest to my executable.

Code: XML  [Select][+][-]

1. <exe>.manifest
2. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
3. <assembly manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
4.     <assemblyIdentity
5.        type="win32"
6.        name=SXS_ASSEMBLY_NAME
7.        version=SXS_ASSEMBLY_VERSION
8.        processorArchitecture=SXS_PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
9.    />
10.     <description> my foo exe </description>
11.     <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
12.         <security>
13.             <requestedPrivileges>
14.                 <requestedExecutionLevel
15.                    level="asInvoker"
16.                    uiAccess="false"
17.                 />     
18.             </requestedPrivileges>
19.         </security>
20.     </trustInfo>
21.     <compatibility xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:compatibility.v1">
22.         <application>
23.             <!-- Windows 10 -->
24.             <supportedOS Id="{8e0f7a12-bfb3-4fe8-b9a5-48fd50a15a9a}"/>
25.             <!-- Windows 8.1 -->
26.             <supportedOS Id="{1f676c76-80e1-4239-95bb-83d0f6d0da78}"/>
27.             <!-- Windows Vista -->
28.             <supportedOS Id="{e2011457-1546-43c5-a5fe-008deee3d3f0}"/>
29.             <!-- Windows 7 -->
30.             <supportedOS Id="{35138b9a-5d96-4fbd-8e2d-a2440225f93a}"/>
31.             <!-- Windows 8 -->
32.             <supportedOS Id="{4a2f28e3-53b9-4441-ba9c-d69d4a4a6e38}"/>
33.         </application>
34.     </compatibility>
35. </assembly>
36.  
37.  

So OS Version Information is returned correctly.

Create two files in your project folder(OsVersion.dat and OSVersion.rc):

1. The content of OsVersion.dat:

<exe>.manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
    <assemblyIdentity
        type="win32"
        name=SXS_ASSEMBLY_NAME
        version=SXS_ASSEMBLY_VERSION
        processorArchitecture=SXS_PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
    />
    <description> my foo exe </description>
    <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
        <security>
            <requestedPrivileges>
                <requestedExecutionLevel
                    level="asInvoker"
                    uiAccess="false"
                />   
            </requestedPrivileges>
        </security>
    </trustInfo>
    <compatibility xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:compatibility.v1">
        <application>
            <!-- Windows 10 -->
            <supportedOS Id="{8e0f7a12-bfb3-4fe8-b9a5-48fd50a15a9a}"/>
            <!-- Windows 8.1 -->
            <supportedOS Id="{1f676c76-80e1-4239-95bb-83d0f6d0da78}"/>
            <!-- Windows Vista -->
            <supportedOS Id="{e2011457-1546-43c5-a5fe-008deee3d3f0}"/>
            <!-- Windows 7 -->
            <supportedOS Id="{35138b9a-5d96-4fbd-8e2d-a2440225f93a}"/>
            <!-- Windows 8 -->
            <supportedOS Id="{4a2f28e3-53b9-4441-ba9c-d69d4a4a6e38}"/>
        </application>
    </compatibility>
</assembly>

2.  The content of OSVersion.rc:

OSVersion RCDATA "OSVersion.dat"

3. Add the following line to your project
{$R OsVersion.rc}

Menu-->Run-->Build all.

Probably the easiest solution(which will always work) is to extract the version information from a known dll(kernel32.dll for example). Windows provides the following functions to access version information: GetFileVersionInfo, VerQueryValue.

Create two files in your project folder(OsVersion.dat and OSVersion.rc):

Close, but no cigar.

The resource should be of type RC_MANIFEST, not RC_DATA and you can simply compile the rc file that contains a reference to the manifest xml.

RC_MANIFEST is defined as MAKEINTRESOURCE(24)

Thank you @GetMem its awesome. found a new method which don't require manifest inclusion
below is the code

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.  ZeroMemory(@os,SizeOf(OSVERSIONINFOEXW));
2.  os.dwOSVersionInfoSize:=SizeOf(OSVERSIONINFOEXW);
3.  
4.  RtlGetVersion(@os);
5. ShowMessage('Major : ' + IntToStr(Os.dwMajorVersion))
6. ShowMessage('Major : ' + IntToStr(Os.dwMinorVersion))
7.  

Thank you guys you are really awesome.
