The way I determine if a DLL or .exe requires the wrong version of runtime 
is to simply do a text search for some part of the manifest, e.g. 
"Microsoft.VC80".

If on Vista or later, try running SxSTrace which will generate a nice .txt 
file showing exactly the DLL not being found and how it tried to find it.
