Fixed.

I've fixed it too, but you were faster than me :-)

- this is the "old style" dialog (e.g. used by Visual Studio 6). The
"new style" (XP style?) dialog looks like the one from Firefox (I can
provide screen shots if needed)


I added a manifest file which should fix this.
As you've noted in the commit comment, this causes problems if the version string is not as expected.
I'm usually using something like 0.10.14.0xx for my personal Ethereal versions.
That has several advantages, one is that plugins won't interfere between installed and devel versions.
However, while debugging with my Visual Studio 6 I had VS crashes all the time after the manifest changes were done.
This is unfortunate. Someone not following the current conversation will get lost fixing this problem. Any ideas to circumvent this problem?
