Because you don't need it. It's a proxy file for the other two in the Visual Studio C++ compile/build (hence its presence in the manifest file) but for the binaries you need only the two runtimes - msvcp80.dll for C++ and msvcr80.dll for C.

Furthermore, just copying those runtimes isn't enough if your host or client platform is XP or Vista. You have to install them from the vcredist.exe installation package - get the one applicable to your environment[s] from the MSDN site.
