In my far far memory I remember to have read something about that in some MSDN article (not sure if it is related to your concrete problem though, haven't followed the thread from the beginning): they mentioned that some shipped manifest (shipped with the SP1) was wrong and was still trying to link with the old ("pre-SP1") C/C++ runtime DLLs. 

But that was a few months ago when I read this, and off course I don't remember the link to the article, but it was when I was also searching the web for a free installer software, which also is able to install the VS 2005/8 C/C++ runtime DLLs when needed.

To be honest I am not even sure if my statement above applies to the older VS 2005 SP1, but just that you know: it could indeed be that the mistake is indeed on the Visual Studio side, so keep an eye open for that. But I would expect that MS has fixed that by now...

Cheers, Oliver
