XML Manifests and Code Signing and Vista... Oh, My!

I want to make my app reasonably compatible with
Vista, at least to get rid of the scary install
messages. I've ordered a code-signing certificate
from Comodo and the SDK from MS needed to use it.
I've found step-by-step instructions on extracting
the code signing stuff from the SDK and signing
files.
What I'm having trouble with is the whole XML
manifest business. When I go to MSDN it's like I
fell down a rabbit hole: Every page introduces a
bunch of new terms, like "Assembly manifests",
"Application Manifests", "Side-by-side
assemblies", etc, etc, and when I follow those
links they seem to spread out in all directions.
(But I quickly realized that "assembly" isn't the
kind we normally talk about here!)
Added to the complication is that my app is
written in pure MASM32, but every example I've
seen assumes an HLL. In fact, even the stated
reasons for why the manifest is needed don't seem
to apply: I'm not using any APIs that didn't come
with Win95. No tricky DLL dependencies, etc.
So, has anyone been down this road yet with a pure
assembly app? I'd be very grateful for any
pointers or examples.
Thanks, and best regards,
Bob Masta
