# Introduction There are some attributes that can be set on a Windows executable via a manifest. This is a section in the executable. The easiest way to set this is to include an XML-format .manifest file at build time. ## Build time We specify .manifest files in `build.py`. ## Editing or changing a manifest You can use the `mt.exe` from your Windows SDK e.g. "c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.18362.0\x64\mt.exe" to inspect or change an executable's manifest. To set a whole new manifest: 1. Make a copy of the relevant manifest file, e.g. `EDMarketConnector.manifest`. 1. Edit this file. 1. Run mt.exe thus: `mt.exe -manifest EDMarketConnector-new.manifest -outputresource:EDMarketConnector.exe`.
