Need help about Manifest file for accessing registration free ocx/dll

I need to access an ocx component from program's local folder.
Microsoft provides a concept of *.exe.Manifest file for accessing
registration free components from program's local folder. For example,
aaa.exe uses bbb.ocx component. The bbb.ocx is available in the folder
where aaa.exe is hosted. What I need to do is to create a
aaa.exe.Manifest file in the local folder so that aaa.exe can access
bbb.ocx without getting/entering its regsitration information from/to
the registry.

Can someone please provide me a sample manifest file to achieve this?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Faiz
