[in] PWSTR Manifest
);
Parameters
[in] Manifest
The full path to the manifest.
Return value
Returns ERROR_SUCCESS if successful. Otherwise, this function returns one of the following return codes in addition to others.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
The manifest file was not found at the specified path. |
|
The Manifest parameter cannot be NULL and the path cannot exceed MAX_PATH. |

Remarks
To consume events, TDH requires the provider's manifest. Typically, you decode the log file on a computer that contains the provider. Since the provider includes the manifest as a resource, TDH uses the provider to get the manifest. To decode the log file on a computer that does not contain the provider, you must first use the TraceRpt.exe executable to export the manifest (see the –export switch) from the provider on a computer that does contain the provider. After you have the manifest file, you can decode the log file on a computer that does not contain the provider.
You need to call this function before decoding the first event. For example, you can call this function before calling the OpenTrace function. After processing all the events, call the TdhUnloadManifest function.
