I new to Vista
I develop on an XP machine.

I compile a program A.exe which comes in two flavours A.exe and B.exe.
B.exe is compiled as A'.exe but with a compiler switch (conditional
compile).
Both programs are installed with Wise Installer but during the
installation A'.exe is installed as B.exe.

Everything worked fine under XP

I installed both programs onto a Vista Home Basic machine with no
change.
Both showed a warning message at startup.

I then added a UAC manifest and created a separate compiler project so
that B.exe was compiled as B.exe.
I found the whilst A.exe was installed and ran without a warning
message B.exe would not UNTIL IT WAS RENAMED to A.exe - how strange is
that!

I have tried uninstalling using UNWISE and reinstalling but still no
luck. B.exe will only run properly (without the startup warning0 if it
is renamed to A.exe?

It is as though vista has identifed B.exe has had a name change and
won't run B.exe unless it is renamed to A.exe???? :(

I assume the problem is on the Vista machine but could it be on the XP
machine?

Any ideas welcome.
