After a painful day of experiments using the redmond-wimp system
(aka Microsoft Windows), I have been able to make meta-impy-bin.exe
that in the embeded manifest list dependencies on both
name="Microsoft.VC80.CRT" version="8.0.50727.762"
name="Microsoft.VC80.CRT" version="8.0.50727.4053"
I naturally tried building with each (a matched set of
Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest, and the dll's that go with it
msvcp80.dll, msvcr80.dll). But the result is the same: after
installing, the binary won't run.
It looks like there are a number of dll's that require .4053, but
(unless it's the wonderful-wimp-compiler Microsoft Visual C++ 2005
Express Edition) I can't find how the .exe is getting dependencies
on both. I changed every place I could find to one state or the
other (762 or 4053) but it makes no difference.
