From DLL *** to MSDN ***
This chunk of documentation is one of the most impenetrable in the whole MSDN, which is really sad because SxS is really important. Can we use mt.exe to generate the darn manifests for regfree COM? *** knows. You're better off reading http://stackoverflow.com/questions/465882/generate-manifest-files-for-registration-free-com but even there the information is sketchy.
