There is indeed a problem with VS 2008 SP1. The manifest files that it 
bundles in the Qt DLLs and my application executable depend on an older 
version of the VC90 CRT. To fix it, I have to include that version of 
the CRT in my application installation folder (inside 
Microsoft.VC90.CRT). I will post a blog article on how I fixed it. I can 
now install Qt apps on a fresh XP machine without using the lame 
vcredist installer.

Michael Jackson: I saw your link, and that looks very helpful.
