We don't use SP1

You forget about dlls, used by the engine and not in \bin folder. I guess you can "solve"
the issue copiyng 3 files into each such folder (intl\udf\ets) but i don't think you'll like it :)

Nor fbclient.dll, nor application doesn't read manifest file. Its reads by MS dll's itself.
