visual-studiomanifestdpi

Unrecognized Manifest option

I'm using MSVC 2017 on Windows 8.1.

During the compilation I'm getting the following error:

c:\wxWidgets\include\wx\msw\wx_dpi_aware_pmv2.manifest : manifest authoring warning 81010002: Unrecognized Element "dpiAwareness" in namespace "http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings

What is the problem here? Was DPIAwareness removed from being used in the manifest?

Thank you

Solution

  • 'dpiAwareness' is only available on Windows 10 1607 and above and you are working on Windows 8.1.'DpiAware' is available starting from Windows Vista but it has limits and can only set to true or pm.
