I'm getting some pretty serious errors right now with the AlienH project. The problem is with the manifest file that Visual Studio is creating. I've tried around 10 different "fixes" so far for this error but none have them have corrected the error. I've also asked several tutors and class mates but none of them can resolve this. I've attempted remaking the project and reorganising the folder structures but nothing.

I'm starting from scratch now.

It looks a mess but right there is shooting (8 directional), dynamic geometry loading, dynamic enemy creation, dynamic scenery, collision detection with geometry etc.. Taking a few days off after today to see Obscura then I'll be back on the case.
