I recently downloaded Visual C++ 2008 express edition, and when I tested it out with a simple "Hello World" program, I got the following error:

general error c1010070: Failed to load and parse the manifest. The system cannot find the file specified.

After doing some research, I found out that you could simply turn off the manifest, but the manifest is somewhat important for deployment. I am looking into making a game for my portfolio and want to make sure that I get this taken care of. Anyone know how to take care of this, or should I just turn off my manifest.

Its probably the way you created the project. This link suggests you start with an empty project. You might also read some of these links.

Weird...

I created an empty project the first time... got the error.... a second time ... got the error....
third time... and it worked....

Anyway, thanks for the help. Not sure what the deal was.
