(Get the code!)
In WinXP SP2 it works fine(this is my main machine). But even mkdib's 2.7.3 in SP3(till september) has the same error. The v2.8.2 version works because(IIRC) it is my mingw build. All my other mingw builds work fine too. This is because gcc 4.5.2 doesn't depend on new msvc dlls.
Anyway the problem appears because Windows cannot find/verify my provided dlls with the appropriate manifest file. It is solved if I install the vc09 redistributable but this is not ideal. The redistributable is about 4MB and it installs a lot of other dlls system wide. My dlls are the correct ones, I only need to know how to make the correct manifest file(or where to find it). This is what I am searching now. As a last result I could bundle the vc-redist with the installer but it would be 11-12MB big....
