Is a Manifest necessary?

[HideoYamada]

Hello,

I found that one of my add-in has wrong manifest (copied from the other add-in and was not modified yet) but the add-in works fine.

Then I comment outed the mt.exe line in the post build event, but the add-in still works.

I think it was needed when the add-ins were COM add-in (non registry free add-in).

Do we still need to use mt.exe?

Thanks,

I know that the MT.exe command is still in the official documentation. But I have created addins now for years without using the command and my addins work fine.

Thank you.

First, I will stop using mt.exe for my private tools.
