More VC8 Notes

Heres a nice error:

Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging.

Unable to start program 'C:\yourprogram.exe'.

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.


How do you fix it? Delete the manifest files, rebuild, or for some reason, be written with the wrong encoding. Convert it to UTF-8 and everythigns goes. Wieerd.
