The longest but easiest fix is to download the source and compile Qt
yourself with your compiler, that way everything matches.

The longer answer is that you _can_ mix-n-match manifests and force one or
the other but this seems to be a pain to get right.

You can also look for a prebuilt version of Qt for your compiler which
exists although it is NOT from Nokia. Google a bit and you will find it.

<opinion> This is why I have never updated to VS 2008 SP1. There is a long
standing bug where the manifest for the c and C++ runtimes do not match and
cause all sorts of problems</opinion>
