As indicated above, Visual Studio 2008 ships with CRT version 9.0.21022.8. VS
2008 SP1 ships with an updated CRT (9.0.30729.17). However, applications
compiled with VC++ 2008 SP1 have manifests that ship to the old version of the
CRT. According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc664727.aspx this is
*on purpose*.
You're supposed to be able to work around the problem by defining
_BIND_TO_CURRENT_CRT_VERSION, which creates "correct" manifests, or by creating
an application config file that uses a "bindingRedirect" element to redirects
old assembly versions to the new one. I haven't been able to get either of these
to work so far.
