I'm not sure embed_manifest_exe can help you embed a manifest in a .exe
file.  Its documentation says

Option 	Description
embed_manifest_dll 	Embeds a manifest file in the DLL created as part of
a library project.
embed_manifest_exe 	Embeds a manifest file in the DLL created as part of
an application project.


So perhaps it's only good when building DLLs.

And the rest of my application *does* "look like Windows XP" (so I am using the Windows XP Qt style).
