I have recently ported a project from VS .Net to VS 2005 and when I
build/run it I get a run-time error "R6034".
After a bit of poking around I discovered that my manifest file only
contains the following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
</assembly>

When I replace this with the manifest from a functioning program:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>
<assembly xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1' manifestVersion='1.0'>
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.VC80.CRT'
version='8.0.50608.0' processorArchitecture='x86'
publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
</assembly>

The executable runs without a hitch.

Any suggestions on what settings I need to change to generate my
manifest correctly?
