Hmm, I'm glad it worked for you, but I believe the VS service packs/ATL 
Redist update also changes the startup code linked into your .exe, so just 
changing the manifest of the redist might result in mismatched startup code.

VS2010 does away with manifests for the VC redists, so we will be reverting 
back to DLL hell instead of manifest hell in the near future.
