If you are using vista or windows 7, you can use sxstrace to find out
what the exact problem is. See
http://timvdm.blogspot.com/2009/04/sxstrace-making-manifest-hell-more.html
for more info.

Also, from http://avogadro.openmolecules.net/wiki/Compiling_on_Windows:

NOTE: The redistributable manifest and the version Avogadro compile
against do not match. This means that the redistributable's manifest
must be altered in order to successfully use the redistributable DLLs.
Go to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT" and edit the file called
"Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest". I used the version string,

version="9.0.21022.8"

After I changed that then the DLLs were successfully loaded and the
mysterious error message stopped popping up. This was with the
standard "free" version downloaded in January 2009.

Tim
