I have been beta testing IVF 11.0.039 with Visual Studio 2008.  The Visual Studio 2008, however, is just a demo version with expiry date (in January I believe).  I tried it out on one of our large solutions with 94 projects each of which generates a dll or an exe.  In addition to the expected files, it also generates a number of other files with extension intermediate.manifest.  So, for instance, a project which is expected to generate Y_ADJ.exe also generates Y_ADJ.exe.intermediate.manifest and similarly dll projects generate a .dll.intermediate.manifest

Prior to this beta test, I had worked with Visual Studio 2003 and was trying to kill two birds with one stone (anticipating the future of our software usage).  Are these higher versions of Visual Studio than 2003 expected to produce these intermediate manifest files?  Or does this indicate an unfortunate synergy between my demo VS2008 and the compiler?

I hope I am not going over well trodden ground.

Cheers!
