The last version or so of VS has been producing something called MyProg.exe.intermediate.manifest. I have often wondered what it is for.

InnoSetup should have discovered all the DLLs you need, including the C runtime and other
DLLs.
Hi Joe,

I may be wrong, but I think that the OP puts the required DLLs, the problem is that they are not loaded (or found) properly, due to some manfiest problem.

I must confess that I don't like this manifest technology very much, I do prefer static-linking to avoid DLLHell and the new ManifestHell.
