I am developing in Visual C++ 2008 using MSMQ. In Windows Vista, the application cannot locate the mqrt.dll which is found at C:\Windows\winsxs>cd x86_microsoft-windows-msmq-runtime-core_31bf3856ad364e35_6. 0.6002.18005_none_574cf1cdb624ee17\mqrt.dll.
The description of the manifest in WinSxS is:
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3" manifestVersion="1.0" description="MSMQ core runtime component." displayName="MSMQ Core runtime component" company="Microsoft" copyright="Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved." creationTimeStamp="2005-03-11T01:47:18" lastUpdateTimeStamp="2005-03-11T01:48:59">
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft-Windows-msmq-runtime-core" version="6.0.6002.18005" processorArchitecture="x86" language="neutral" buildType="release" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" versionScope="nonSxS" />
I added a #pragma comment into my header file:
#pragma comment(linker, "\"/manifestdependency:name='Microsoft-Windows-msmq-runtime-core' version='6.0.6002.18005' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='31bf3856ad364e35' language='neutral'\"")
The manifest is embedded into the exe using mt.exe. But it does not work. The error message in sxstrace is:
INFO: Resolving reference Microsoft-Windows-msmq-runtime-core,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35",version="6.0.6002.18005".

I tried the following pragma, but WinSxS does not even try to resolve msmq (probably because of the versionScope attribute):
#pragma comment(linker, "\"/manifestdependency:name='Microsoft-Windows-msmq-runtime-core' version='6.0.6002.18005' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='31bf3856ad364e35' language='neutral' buildType='release' versionScope='nonSxS'\"")
What is the correct pragma to use?
