I'm running XP SP2. Here's the bug:

There still seems to be some snafu with the VS-C runtimes and manifest.
Even though PN launches OK, I always get SideBySide errors in the System
Event Log when PN launches (see end of message).

I've tried copying the files from the Microsoft.VC80.CRT folder to the
PN folder, but it doesn't stop the errors. Scuttlebutt says that MS has
made some changes in the VS 2005 runtime DLLs, perhaps with some more
manifest monkey-business. Looks like the contents of the
Microsoft.VC80.CRT folder may be out of sync with your latest builds. In
any case, it would be good if the PN installer handled this stuff
automagically.

Errors:
