Copying the c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\redist\x86

    \Microsoft.vc80.crt 
    \Microsoft.vc80.mfc

as folders in the folder that holds the application.exe.

Now event log complains "Syntax error in manifest or policy file "c:\appdir\Microsoft.VC80.CRT\Microsoft.VC80.CRT.Manifest on line 11".

Nothing in google on this:

• "Syntax error in manifest or policy" VC80

Try the debug version of the program, and include the directories under c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist?Create|Search\x86 into the application directory. This will run on other machines (except you're not supposed to redistribute the debug version of the libraries.)
