Side-by-Side Manifest Maker 7.0

Side-by-Side Manifest Maker by Maze Computer Communications, Inc. is a focused tool for creating, editing, and validating Windows side-by-side (SxS) application and assembly manifests. It helps developers and build engineers isolate native components, manage versioned dependencies, and avoid DLL conflicts, making deployments more predictable and maintenance easier.

Key features:

• Create and edit application and assembly manifests with clear, schema-aware validation and instant error feedback.
• Generate dependency entries automatically by scanning existing executables and DLLs.
• Support for architecture-specific attributes (x86, x64, ARM), versions, languages, and processorArchitecture settings.
• Embed manifests into PE resources or export standalone .manifest files.
• Merge, compare, and reuse manifest templates to keep projects consistent.
• Command-line interface for CI/CD pipelines and scripted, repeatable builds.
• Conflict detection to flag duplicate or incompatible dependency versions before deployment.
• Clean, well-formatted XML output with options for prettified or compact files and detailed build logs.

Use it to:

• Modernize legacy applications with registration-free components.
• Standardize manifests across teams and products.
• Reduce “DLL Hell” by isolating and versioning native dependencies.
• Automate manifest generation as part of your build and release process.

Side-by-Side Manifest Maker streamlines manifest work from development through deployment, helping you ship stable Windows applications with fewer surprises.
