Re: Manifest problems with MFC executable - VS2005

Hi

Using VS2005 Professional

I am getting R6034 on attempting to debug a MFC EXE.
I dont get such an error on running the release version.
All EXE's and DLLs have been built using the multithreaded RTL DLL
There are 7 process DLLs

If I check in the linker properties of the EXE, Manifest File , I see
"Generate Manifest" is set to yes (for DLLs it is set to No).
I dont see MT.EXE being invoked (but then I presume LINK.EXE is doing
this, right?)

I checked
http://blogs.msdn.com/nikolad/articles/427101.aspx
which says
"To check whether manifest is embedded inside the binary, open your
binary in Visual Studio and browse through resources of this binary."

I see RT_MANIFEST and it is set to 1

The call stack reveals that I am stuck somewhere inside NTDLL.DLL

Looking at the Manifest Resource data I see

?<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"
manifestVersion="1.0">
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC80.DebugCRT"
version="8.0.50727.762" processorArchitecture="x86"
publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC80.DebugMFC"
version="8.0.50727.762" processorArchitecture="x86"
publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"></assemblyIdentity>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
</assembly>

which seems right. I am not sure where to go at this point.

A similar MFC EXE has no problem being run in Debug mode.

These problems seem unbearably hard. Each generation round, Microsoft
make the tools more complex and finding the source of a problem even
tougher. I now have to master side-by-side DLLs and manifests, which I
never wanted to do, but was imposed on me because of the next version
of Visual Studio.

Do I look at the unbearably complex SLN file?
Do I look at the unbearably complex VCPROJ files in turn?
I dont even know what to look for at the moment.
