hi again,

I have just read an interesting comment on a Microsoft forum. Go here to read it:

Based on these information, it would be enough to have the file "Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest" in the same folder of the
application along with the C++ dll's (in this case the same folder of fbclient.dll that is the same folder of the
application's EXE). I had that manifest file in this folder, but the problem popped out anyway. So it seems that
fbclient.dll doesn't (or cannot) read that manifest file?

Regards
Salvatore
