The manifest files are just xml files. Open it in notepad, copy the code thats inside it for your exe, paste it into a new notepad and save it as <YourExe>.exe.manifest
You will need to edit the program information inside the manifest as well before using it.

When I want a win32 program to have an xp style theme, I just put this
| Code: |
"type='Win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='X86' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'"
|
into Properties -> Linker -> Manifest File. Then insert it in additional manifest dependencies. Or you can add this in your main file.
| Code: |
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")
|
Since vista uses the same .dll as xp (comctl32.dll), it should work. I don't have vista, so I can't test it.
Edit: Added a vb manifest to show how to do it. Just change project1 into the name of you program. Not only the file name, but the text in the file.
