Charles - are the VC++ runtime DLLs installed in the SxS area in your
Windows directory? If not, then (IIRC) each EXE *and* DLL that links
to them needs its own manifest to say where they expect to get the
runtime DLLs from.

Also, I always find FileMon
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896642.aspx) useful
to see which directories the Windows loader is looking in to find DLLs
when I have issues like this.
