Hi!

Per Microsoft guidelines, it is recommended to have an application manifest

Sorry for the excepticism, but where is that recommendation, exactly? There is a default manifest included in every dotnet app btw.

Add a manifest

Why? What does it change for you?

Maybe also add long path awareness if possible

Ahh is this what you are referring to?'

How is gsudo failing for long paths for you? How do you plan to use it if it supported long paths?
This will hardly work, i did a few tests and cmd.exe does not support long paths...

Can anyone please explain what fixing does the current manifest requires?
