msvcr90d.dll not found in debug mode

Question

I found MSVCR90D.dll not found in debug mode with Visual C++ 2008 question but none of given answers really gives answer to the question. Most of them point to turning off i

Answer 1

i have the same problem with msvcr90d.dll not found in vs2008 c++ express ed. The embedded manifest in the output .exe looks like this, when incremental link is enabled:

No wonder msvcr90d.dll could not be found!

i tried 2 things:

A. using a hex editor, the above is overwritten with the contents found in ./Debug/XXX.embed.manifest

B. use mt.exe -manifest ./Debug/XXX.embed.manifest -outputresource:./Debug/XXX.exe

Both methods seem to work. i used the 2nd method as a post-build event command:

mt.exe -verbose -manifest ./$(ConfigurationName)/$(TargetFileName).embed.manifest -outputresource:./$(ConfigurationName)/$(TargetFileName)

i don't know why the 'wrong' manifest is embedded in the 1st place when incremental link is enabled. if anyone knows why, please post.

Thanks!
